I'm proud to see it evolving in the wild, this version is better. Or you know it could just be in the zeitgeist.

but intelligence as a whole is based on a human ego of being intellectually superior
Much good (and bad) sci-fi was written about this. In it, usually this leads to some massive conflict that forces humans to admit machines as equals or superiors.
If we do develop super-intelligence or consciousness in machines, I wonder how that will all go in reality.
For example, human and biological based goals are around self-preservation and propagation. And this in turn is about resource appropriation to facilitate that, and systems of doing that become wealth accumulation. Species that don't do this don't continue existing.
A different branch of evolution of intelligence may take a different approach, that allows its affects to persist anyway.
Since then, it's become clear that much life in the deep sea is anaerobic, doesn't use phosphorus, and may thrive without sunlight.
Sometimes anthropocentrism blinds us. It's a phenomenon that's quite interesting.
