All the ancient mega builds worldwide from the anteDiluvian era 5-6,000yrs ago with ability's and intelligence we today cannot explain like moving and placing quarried cut stones even 1,000 to 1,600 tons or of many sizes to fit perfectly...! Paintings in caves are from people spreading out in the post Diluvian era finding handy safenshelter as they migrated to find new areas to settle and build new civilizations as a means to an end, tho some were likely outcast's existing the best they could...!
I don't think that AI needs to actually be similar or more advanced than humans for this experiment to end in a nightmare. All it requires is that people believe that it is similar or superior to humans. I think people want AI to become God so bad that they will believe that AI has surpassed humans with ease and joy.
"Humans share 98.8% similarity with apes" Well, fun fact bananas and humans share 50% similarity. And a horse is more similar to a bat than a cow in their DNA. It's just a mess if you look at it without any bias.😅
