I just realized by the time we invent spaceship travel, it would be AI driven

Yea above is just silly. They'd need like 1 person max. All decision making would be completely AI-driven.
 
Our first inter-star system ship will undoubtedly be automated via some sort of AI. We'll likely reach something akin to the singularity before an actual (semi-)organic biped makes the journey.

It is absurdly likely that our 2nd attempt at inter-star system travel will bypass our 1st attempt and beat it there by many years/decades. Might even have a 3rd and 4th attempt that overtakes each other too.
 
AI is just the revised Frankenstein complex.
We won't be creating a God, just a better computer, and most likely windows will still suck.
 
Well technically we already invented spaceship travel and did it with computers barely more powerful than a pocket calculator.
 
Not only will it be AI Driven, it will most likely have been invented and build by an AI.

I doubt that. It seems to me that we won't actually get around to interstellar travel until we can do it practically instantaneously. We are not going to do it at sub-light speeds, and there is probably no acceleration with any of the methods to travel between places that get around the laws of physics that don't allow FTL travel. They will all basically have no travel time.

Depends on how long a FTL leap takes or if its even possible. Solar system will get developed fully eventually and we won't have anywhere to expand. That and the inescapable conclusion that humanity needs to expand to survive long term. One asteroid could kill us all now. Someone will eventually get around to building a generation ship. That's feasible within known physics at least.

The other option, which to me seems much more likely, is that our species will use up all our easily accessible energy and either blow ourselves up in a war over the remaining resources, or simply slide back into the stone age.
