HOMO SAPIENS vs ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

According to Google AI: The three most profound and existential questions for Homo sapiens center on our origin, our purpose, and our ultimate destiny . These questions have driven human philosophy, science, and religion since the dawn of consciousness.   Things to think about: Philosopher Marin Heidegger asked, why is there something rather than nothing? One of the most mind-blowing facts is that Cleopatra lived much closer in time to the launch of the iPhone than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza .   Cleopatra died in 30BC, while the Great Pyramid was built around 2560 BC, a gap of just over 2500 years. From her birth to the iPhone was only around 2000 years. Day vs. Year: A day on Venus (one full rotation on its axis) takes 243 Earth days, while a year on Venus (one orbit around the Sun) takes only 225 Earth days. More cosmic perspective : There are more trees on Earth than stars in the Milky Way —about 3 trillion trees compared to roughly 100 to 40...

Of course, even science is speculative, so here is another point of view: So from left to right,  time marched on  where basic elements began to form 3 seconds after the BB,  stars/galaxies at around a time of 300 million years.  Now looking backwards from the present, life began to form 3.8 billions ago, dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago and we  Homo sapiens  evolved  600,000 years ago .  However, anatomically modern  Hs  appeared around  300,000 years ago . Now, imagine the entire history of the Universe compressed into a calendar year.  Each month would be equal to almost a billion years, so...
