Perhaps humans originate from aliens who invented AI for their own devices, computers made from organic matter, they didn’t use metals. They then discovered planet Earth, humans were the best form of organic life here for their AI and so became intelligent. The aliens were probably more hopeful birds would accept their AI, they tried several species.
Perhaps we will discover a planet where life there is metallic and we will leave our AI for evolution. For consciousness, and thoughtful life…
Maybe a sequel to “A Space Odyssey 2001” …
