This podcast episode is a good primer on—and the source of—this question.

Why might this be a better approach?

At least in the near term it is probably a more useful / accurate frame as they are more like augmentations (go centaurs!) than replacements.
Less ego. Viewing everything through the lens of “how human” or “human replacements” limits our imaginations. If more humans were the answer, our problems would probably be solved by now. The more interesting exploration is: how are they different and how can we leverage that?
Less determinism, more symbiosis.
Fewer sensationalized headlines.
