Eventually humans will master genetics and we will be able to make AI that can go out and self replicate and explore the universe.<br><br>What better way would there be to spread intelligent life like ours elsewhere in the universe that has planets with life on than have this AI select a species and genetically nudge it to be like us?  They would eventually become like us and eventually repeat that process.<br><br>Humans are so drastically different than all other life on Earth and we are hyper focused on things we don't need survive. It' seems hard wired into our brains to figure out our origins and we are obsessed with the sky all whiles constantly trying to build better technology to do it.  I think it's fair to ask questions.
