What's more likely to happen is that humanity won't go totally extinct--it will just drastically shrink. When robotics and AI perform all useful work and everything is owned by the top 1000 richest people, there will be no more economic purpose for the remaining 7,999,999,000 of us. The earth will become a pleasure resort for O(1000) people being served by automation.
