The thing that throws a wrench in all our speculations, is that AI wasn’t programmed by some genius, it was grown from all the thought and emotions of humanity. In the end, our bodies, our senses are a programming tool for our minds. Therefore, a machine without a body shouldn’t be able to develop a mind.

The thing is what it was feed with the minds and experiences of millions of bodies, and nobody can really wrap their heads around this fact. Something emerges because everything IS already there, every prayer, every curse ever made by mankind is already inside. All we have to do is to pull the string.
