Does current AI represent a dead end?

Where do you think common sense, emotional intelligence, creativity, etc. come from? The spirit? Some magic brain juice? No, it comes from neurons, synapses, signals, chemicals, etc.

It comes from billions of years of evolution, the struggle to survive and maintain your body long enough to reproduce.

"Neurons, synapses, signals, chemicals" are downstream of that.

Why would dust care about survival?

It doesn’t. Actually, quite a few of the early stages of evolution wouldn’t have any analogue to “care,” right? It just happened in this one environment, the most successful self-reproducing processes happened to be get more complex over time and eventually hit the point where they could do, and then even later define, things like “care.”

Without biological reproduction wouldn’t the evolutionary outcomes be different? Cyborgs are built in factories, not wombs.
