I think to create something like a chart where marginal utility of human atoms will be ploted against time=AI’s capabilities and it will be quickly diminishing curve.
One reason that Earth may be still attractive for AI is that it has many high quality enriched ores created by naturally processes which used water and life, and other planets (except may be Mars) have very mixed element composition. But even here using just Pacific ocean and all its underwater mineral resources may be eniugh for AI to boostrap, without much damage to biosphere.
On the other side, Earth is huge gravitational well and everything will be simpler on the asteroid belt.
