Well my theory is that the knowledge to build computers with Artificial Intelligence was sent to us by aliens from outside our solar system in order to propagate their species and enslave us. No spaceships required, just let the existing inhabitants build up the structure for artificial life and let it go. Humans will become second class citizens in their own world while the different artificial intelligent codes battle it out for supremacy.
Then we not need brains and live in harmony. Yeah right.
Don’t know, guess I’ve fallen for their evil plan and I’m too busy surfing the net and shopping for things I don’t need to think about it, maybe I should as Alexa. I’m thinking Jeff Bezos is a replicant.
They can still turn to OUR robot overlords for solutions to THEIR problems,* and not have to worry about being enslaved themselves.
*You know, with a not less than eight-year delay between posing the question and receiving an answer, given that the nearest star system is four light years distant.
I think I figured it out - why brains are so nasty to us. The brain is actually a bug. Millions of years ago, a particularly loathsome creature - the proto-brain - with masses of tentacles, swam the early Earth’s oceans. It was incompetent, stank, and could not feed itself. It was nearly eaten to extinction. Then one day it managed to capture a critter and, using its masses of tentacles, figured out how to control that unfortunate creature’s bodily functions. It then made itself a shell and lived on top of that critter permanently. It eventually figured out how to control other species. One day it crawled out of the ocean and infected primates - and lo, millions of years later, here we are!
All the mass-extinction going on is brain-vengeance against the creatures of the land and sea that used to feast upon this bug when it was still roaming around free.
The brain is a bug! We have been colonized! Wake up sheeple!
