That is the question now, isn't it. Can artificial intelligence evolve on its own. I have faith that despite believable science fiction, it can't or at least won't, yet, will humans and their binary, polarity consciousness thinking ever be smart enough to get past confirmation bias and learn to think critically for themselves and not get fooled by bots programmed to deceive by those who crave power above all else? It will happen, but not for at least a couple of generations. The Shift will proceed and Gaia will survive and so will all of our descendants.
