With high probability we do, unfortunately.

With high probability there won't be any humans afterwards but that doesn't tell you how the world would look like.

Disagree, since over 99% of what I care about would be the same across all post-singularity states that lack lifeforms I care about. Analogously, if I knew that tomorrow I would be killed and have some randomly selected number written on my chest I would believe that today I knew everything important about my personal future.

If you want to tell a story about that would, than you need to know something about how the world looks like besides "there are no humans".
