It's true nature never "tried" anything except to keep going but I posit it does learn, it's memory is our genes and our own memory, and we are the effect of it's force. I also don't see man and nature as separate. If we created AGI, then nature created AGI. AGI can look back and say the step from biological to machine was akin to single to multi celled organisms.
>If we created AGI, then nature created AGI. AGI can look back and say the step from biological to machine was akin to single to multi celled organisms. I do think it's interesting to consider AGI as a similar step from single to multi celled organism, but I also feel like if we consider everything manmade as part of nature, the term nature doesn't really mean anything. If it refers to all man-made things as well as all non man-made things, it kinda just becomes a synonym for "things"
