What happens after that is fascinating to speculate about but it won't be a "human" future.

I think someone's been reading too much Baudrillard. Really, this comes down to saying that 'technology' is not natural, but, you know, that's an impossible argument to make--unless you want to claim that humanity itself isn't natural, in which case further development of technological apparatus will make us less base (i.e., natural) and more human (i.e., more technological).
The nature/culture dichatomy is a sham. Culture, technology, they're both as natural, human, as anything else can claim to be.
