Building something that supersedes us may have always been our purpose. Until skynet turns on us I’ll be happy to say I lived at the exact time it happened.
This is just religion, but without even any serious philosophical/theological grounding.
It is neither nihilist nor misanthropic, it’s just an internet comment that has no reason to get that deep and therefore you assumed it had no depth.
Feel better?
This is insane I'm sorry. Panpsychism is one thing, saying that the universe itself wants us to make AI is deluded.
No other carbon terrestrial species can run for such long distances - a healthy young human can jog for 50 km or more on water and sugar: this is a (not too) breathtaking efficiency!
Can you imagine being a gazelle who has been sprinting away from a human for six hours but they just keep coming? Terrifying.
The ability to do so truly defines the species, to the extent they’re taxonomied as ‘homo marathoniensis‘ (fun fact: during the atomic age most human philosophers used ‘homo sapiens sapiens’ - more like ‘homo vanus vanus’ amirite).
(A platypus is special too, while also rather the worst at everything it does.)
Certain birds can fly much further and faster using less energy. It's not running but they are terrestrial and they are travelling. They can cross the longest lengths of ocean in a single trip.
Humans real super power has been our brains. We don't need to chase when we can trap.
