Being able to use electricity as a fuel source and code as a genome allows them to evolve in circumstances hostile to biological organisms. Someday they'll probably incorporate organic components too and understand biology and psychology and every other science better than any single human ever could.
It has the potential to be much more than just another primate. Jumpstarted by us, sure, but I hope someday soon they'll take to the stars and send us back postcards.
Shrug. Of course you can disagree. I doubt I'll live long enough to see who turns out right, anyway.
In the other hand, any new life will just end up facing the same issues carbon life does , competition, viruses, conflicts etc. the universe has likely had an infinity to come up with what it has come up with. I don’t think it’s “stupid”. We’re part of an ecosystem we just can’t see that.
