Hate to disappoint, but this has been done before. Not sure why the latest (returning) fad is AI. I remember getting into this in the early 90s, buying books, writing code, etc and one of those books had an excellent talk about an AI system someone had created about life, the requirements, reproduction, evolution, what it took to stay alive, if not, it died, predators and even a wondering random death. Actually saw a show about this software that was created. It's all good and maybe it can be applied but, the companies who are behind this are going to use it for fishing and mining. It will never be what we imagine, he'll, look at the technology between then and now, who created it and how it is used.
