It may sound like a paradox, but non-adaptation was an important step in adaptation. The T-Rex is an example of over-adaptation where the forelimbs evolved away, because they adapted to nothingness. Lifting the forelimbs high into the air meant that they were not used hardly at all, and they adapted away. Humans do the same thing, but non-adaptation has become our adaptation. Our brain however is a super brain, and so the brain is super adaptive. We put all of our adaptive energy into our brain. I can use this computer, because I am super adaptive to using tools. Evolution has slowed down for a reason, and that reason is that the fittest were the ones that stopped adapting when they had found an equilibrium with their surroundings. I do not have to climb a tree to be a tree climber, I do not have to swim to be a swimmer.
When programming Ai life to evolve towards human you have to include the over adaptation first to find the equilibrium later. The problem with Ai could be that we are looking at life today, and ignoring the past.
