I think in this context, God's prophets could be considered a form of self-insertion.

> So are we saying creators are never part of their creation ? Does that mean AI being created by us humans, can never know we created it.

This seems like a broader existing problem with knowing whether other sentient beings exists. We don't have access to any other subjective experience than their own, so we really can't tell. We can assume that because we think and feel and experience other humans do too, but we can't actually know. We don't have access to their thoughts and experiences. So we couldn't know whether the AI we created merely acted like it thought and experienced, or if it actually did.

> does that mean, that evolution of AI means human intelligence can no longer exist after this point ?

I don't think this follows.

I wrote a short dialogue about this a while back, mostly for fun. I think the creator-creation-relationship is a very interesting topic. https://memex.marginalia.nu/commons/dialogue.gmi
