My conjecture is that any new form of GI will continue to evolve from an existing branch of sentient organisms. Artificial influence to evolution could be made possible by augmenting a current GI with AI, but i'm unable to comprehend a GI built entirely from scratch.

My argument for this line of reasoning is that the secret sauce of motivation or purpose that is deep down in every "dna" has neither been discovered nor replicable.

This is not a religious but a philosophical assertion.
