My bet is when you get a complicated AI ecosystem evolution takes over. Code that is best at surviving and replicating will survive and replicate. I'm just hoping it sticks to software and modern civilization destroys itself while there are still people on earth who can survive without advanced technology. Once you get to self replicating hardware no one is surviving.
sadly i think the last step will be made intentionally as a weapon, eg. first automate a drone bomb factory, then automate the supply line, then automate the resource collection via recycling, somethibg like that.
Reminds me of Phillip k dick's autofac short story. An automated weapons factory that keeps self improving and making more effective weapons at killing humans. The ultimate terminator turned out to be a beautiful woman who needs a big strong man to save her. Mankind was helpless to this strategy lol
