There's no direction to evolution. No one creature's needs, wants, or beliefs matter at all when it comes to natural evolution. (Note: not talking about selective breeding/eugenics/genetic engineering here.)AI is not going to evolve naturally. Instead, it is going to be programmed. You programmed a web script to perform a task that you, a human, needed, wanted, and believed should be part of your website. If your webscript somehow gained full sapience right now, then your needs, wants, and beliefs would be part of the knowledge and instincts that will shape its personality because you programmed them into it.Sapient AI is not going to be an alien creature that evolved on a different planet with a different environment that shaped it. It's going to be made by humans who program their needs, wants, and beliefs into it.</blockquote>
