If alien life is artificially intelligent, it may be stranger than we can imagine (www.bbc.co.uk)

From October 2023

We human beings may be near the end of Darwinian evolution – no longer required to become the fittest to survive – but technological evolution of artificially intelligent minds is only just beginning. It may be only one or two more centuries before humans are overtaken or transcended by inorganic intelligence. If this happens, our species would have been just a brief interlude in Earth's history before the machines take over.

That raises a profound question about the wider cosmos: are aliens more likely to be flesh and blood like us, or something more artificial? And if they are more like machines, what would they be like and how might we detect them?

in many scifi series, when usually AI/robots take over they usually destroy thier creators first before becoming dominant. Kaylons, cylons, the matrix machine race, terminator, and i hate to say it even stdiscovery.

or something like the Angels of evangelion, where they evolved to the point of of pure energy, or to the point of the angels which are extremely powerful beings that were originally a humanoid race.

or something like sg1 and or star trek, where beings of pure energies evolved from biological organisms are basically god-like entities.
