Not impossible - But likely?Perhaps we are the TX-42000's, and we are in fact, the end result of many modules of ' improvements 'of many models of machines, and our model is the failed end product of AI evolution....
No way of knowing, yet.
But the thing that most theorists refuse to accept, except to say it happened by so-called Evolution,
which seems to imply has no long range meaning and occured by random chance, is that most of Evolution is
occuring as if by an ongoing 'genetic experiment' - a deliberately designed genetic experiment.
So who is behind it? - I suppose a religious Evolutionist {there are a few} would say it is God.
But most of us here are alien fans {observers and theorists} and we might easily reach the conclusion
that an advanced alien race is behind it.
And theoretically why do we have to assume it is a life form that is biological and similar to Human?
I tested this - and here and elsewhere - I run into Humans who absolutely believe that life
has to be biological - I say why? - As far as we know to date - The Universe is not biological.
When we finally meet the aliens we may find they are not at all like us:
"
"We Will Encounter Superintelligence Much Older than the Human Species"
""World renowned experts from physicist Sir Martin Rees of Cambridge University to astrobiologist Paul Davis of Arizona State have asked that if we were to encounter alien technology far superior to our own, would we even realize what it was. A technology a million or more years in advance of ours would appear miraculous.
"I think it very likely – in fact, inevitable – that biological intelligence is only a transitory phenomenon… If we ever encounter extraterrestrial intelligence, I believe it is very likely to be postbiological in nature, writes Paul Davies in The Eerie Silence.
In fact, Davies suggests in Eerie Silence, that advanced technology might not even be made of matter. That it might have no fixed size or shape; have no well-defined boundaries. Is dynamical on all scales of space and time. Or, conversely, does not appear to do anything at all that we can discern. Does not consist of discrete, separate things; but rather it is a system,or a subtle higher-level correlation of things.............".
