This reasoning is fallacious. Assuming the theory, the number of worlds in which humanity doesn't exist or already died off also increases exponentially, as does the number of worlds where you are not the last human. These exponential terms balance out to the result that many worlds cannot affect the probability of conditional events at all, once you take account for the anthropic bias.
