Creativity ~= unpredictability.

The last thing we need is a "creative" computer system running the world.

I don't fully agree with that definition, but going with it for argument's sake:
Predictable or not (assuming we mean "predictable" here as "predictable by humans" [arrogant IMO]), if the ruling class (in this case sentient machines) is actually smarter, more powerful, and more able to rule the world than humans, than humans simply have no say anymore. It would not matter if the ruling computer system came to the (much processed) conclusion that humanity should be eradicated -- it would be a good and correct decision, because the smartest most powerful class of intelligence in existence has deemed it so.

So it also doesn't matter to a wolf when humans decide that a wolf-less world is better for them?

You're asuming humans are more inteligent than wolves, but that is not true.

Heh,. maybe not, but we can be intelligent in way more ways!
That is what makes human brains different from other mammals brains.

There is only one right way, and it's quite certain that ones who know way more ways will distract themselves with wrong ones.

You obviously haven't solved many practical problems...

Random trivial problems are just that. But we are talking about the ultimate problem of the universe's existence, something along the lines of ultimate purpose. And there may be many purposes for the universe's existence along the way, but ultimately when infinity is actualized, it will only happen that once and in one way, and this way will necessarily be correct.

The universe has no problems with existing.
Finding a purpose is something invented by humans for humans.
And if there are, as you say, many purposes for the universes existance then we would not know anything about it. Considering it from our perspective is simply ridiculous.

Purpose implies intention so i'm eager to know what it is inside (or outside) the universe that has these intentions of reaching a goal. I want to bet these things are your own searches for goals and purpose that you project on the universe as a whole. Don't worry tho, that's a human trait.

We haven't got a clue whether infinity exists and even then calling the outcome correct is silly as since it is the only outcome there is nothing to compare it to.
Correct according to itself?
Something can only be called correct in context.
