Are humans necessary? Can't technology just replace people?

Necessity is a very subjective notion in the human brain; nothing is really necessary, including and especially the human life; but anything also can be considered necessary if you want it badly enough.

If God didn't want, none of this would've been created, this whole Universe with everything in it including humanity and individual human beings. Does God think humanity is necessary? Since God created humanity, maybe God thought humanity was necessary for him; but, it is equally possible that God created humanity and the entire Universe as a side project, something that didn't have much meaning to him. Because I'm only human, I can never know what God really thought, thinks, and will think; I can only speculate God's true intentions.

How does the human brain judge what someone else has created is necessary or not?

If a human brain thinks it wants something, it decides that thing is necessary; if a human brain thinks it doesn't want something, it decides that thing is unnecessary. In the human brain, necessity is decided by want.

So, the human-brain answer to the question, "Are humans necessary?", is a subjective one; if someone's human brain thinks it wants humans, out of philanthropy, it concludes that humans are necessary; if someone's human brain thinks it doesn't want humans, out of misanthropy, it concludes that humans are unnecessary.

In my case, my brain thinks that it wants humans, more humans, far more humans, so it concludes that humans are necessary. But my brain wants technologically advanced humans, not primitive humans.

I think a lot about the future technologies, and I think, maybe human beings can be completely replaced by technology or merged with technology, and exist as a part of technology. What I pursue is creating the human reality in which the distinction between humans and technologies are completely gone.

For example, I pursue creating the artificial intelligence and robotics technologies that have the mental and manual-labor capabilities that are as good as or better than human capabilities; I pursue creating the biotechnologies and neurotechnologies that enable humans to live indefinitely, and live in different types of bodies such as mechanical robot bodies and traditional biological human bodies. The human reality I envision and strive to create is the one in which human beings are no longer bound to their biological birth human body; for example, if a human being wants a new biological human body, a biotechnology should be able to manufacture a new biological human body with that person's genome and brain contents to enable that person to live in a new, freshly manufactured human body.

Technology has been replacing humans in many things, so, my aim is to go to the uttermost extreme in technology, and replace humans entirely with technology; in my view, in the future, there shouldn't be a thing that a human can do that a machine or technology cannot do; in the human reality I want to create, humans and technologies or machines must become interchangeable.

I think it's reasonable to think that in the future, humans will be completely replaced by technology, merged with technology, and there will be no distinction between humans and technologies in capability.

Human birth, human death, and human life will have no special meaning, because technology will replace human birth, human death, and human life; the technology of the future will be able to create brand-new adult human bodies on demand, make human death obsolete, and enable limitless human lifespan. There won't be a thing that a human can do that a technology cannot do.

Then what? What should be the new human existential paradigm, when artificial intelligence, robotics, human immortality biotech, and mass-scale outer space humanity expansion tech make everything human meaningless,
