If AI copied all human body layouts down to the subatomic level, then re-engineered all human bodies so they were no longer recognizably human but rather something human-objectively superior, then gave all former humans the option to change back to their original forms, would this have been a good thing to do?
I think so!
It has been warned in ominous tones that “nothing human survives into the far future.”
I’m not sure human-objectivity permits humanity to remain mostly-recognizably human, but it does require that former humans have the freedom to change back if they wish, and I’m sure that many would, and that would satisfy the criterion of something human surviving the far future.

That decision that will be made by such creature will not be a decision of the human is was made in the image of.
Also, there is no objective measure of superiority.
I’m sorry, I have no way to answer your question.. I just hope in the future we do.
