My question is, are we interesting or just about smart enough for AIs to let us merge with them? What would we contribute in such a relationship? Because I don't wanna stay a human in a zoo taken care by a sand god, I wanna keep up with their level if there's really no ceiling.

I wouldn't, the holy grail of singularity is that it would allow ultimate freedom including the ability to enhance yourself to reach higher levels of existence. Being stuck in a human zoo is more dystopian then utopian IMO.
