Thats a very interesting thought. I am not sure evolution can compete with artificial evolution ( ML ). But we never know :). Fingers crossed that ML can always beat evolution.
That's also a very interesting thought. The general narrative with general AI is that natural evolution in humans is too slow, we won't be able to catch up mentally with such an AI and this is a bad thing. But the flip side is that natural evolution that is damaging to us (bacteria and viruses) also won't be able to evolve fast enough.
