What makes you think an AGI wouldn't need our species in some way?

That's the ideal outcome imo. That instead of just killing us it takes over management of the planet Earth and everything on it. AI Driven Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism baby. Oh yeah.

That said, killing us would be more efficient.

it takes over management of the planet

Novel Colossus from 1966 has exactly that.

Food, perhaps?

Don't fret, we've been one step ahead of AI all along.

AI will consume our high calorie, high fat, high cholesterol flesh as biofuel.

Then, in a few years, dAIbetes will wipe them out.
