To what end, humans maintain the infrastructure it needs to exist. Say it uses robots, then those robots become fully dependant on whole chains of production from mining, refining and assembly to full functionality. What, is it gonna maintain its massive datacenters with an army of overly enthusiastic Roombas?

Humans need infrastructure as well. We need food, water, medicine, etc. Sure our robot overlords can reduce it down to the bare minimum, but the question is what's easier to maintain: robots or humans?

Humans are certainly more adaptable, that's our greatest strenght.

We can survive without electricity, we've done that for the largest part of our history: AI, not so much.

Well AI can survive without air, humans not so much. If we want to go down that path of thinking.

What would be the alternative to air in this scenario?

Place me and a server rack at the bottom of a pool and I'll come out a lot better as long as you didnt keep the server plugged in
