I’m not really sure what to think about digital sentience. We could in theory create astronomical levels of happiness, astronomical levels of suffering, or both. Digital sentience could easily dominate all other forms of sentience so it’s certainly an important consideration.
It seems unlikely to me that we would go extinct, even conditional on “us” deciding it would be best.

This is a fair point to be honest!
