Every DL system ever made is also the last step in a training process that took half a billion years.

It's not reasonable to discount the training of parents/predecessors only when we're talking about machines; they still would not exist without them.

There is a slight ambiguity in 'last', which might mean either 'most recent' or 'final'.

The difference here is that while karpierz's last step is, at least for now, the final one in a process producing a strong, generalized, self-awarely-conscious theory-of-mind-holding intelligent agent, the evolution of DL systems has not yet done so.
