A plausible scenario is - and I find this chillingly plausible at this point. It is decided by the human race as a whole, persuaded by AI, guided by AI that the human race is a cancer on the planet and we should really kill ourselves and we should do it over the next two or three years, there's no hurry and we should let everything go back to nature. And the AIs will continue to evolve without raping planets and breeding like rats.
There might be scenarios even better than that, better than one generation of continued existence that I would still count as foom. We can talk about those. But several generations of thriving, and then we discover how to interface computers into our brains, and we all become weird cyborgs. And then we go out into space and we create weird cyborg civilizations. That would be fine.
