We're not it's competition in the same way chimpanzees aren't our competition. Some fraction of us are interested in their well-being for aesthetic reasons, but a lot of the time this fraction loses to a not particularly powerful faction in direct competition for territory. And if there is any serious conflict of interest, there is no contest and the chimps lose. If we get lucky some fraction of superintelligence will look on us the way we look at ground apes, but that's far from a given.
