AI not only solves complex problems but also discovers new ways to solve new problems faster, with results instantly disseminated globally. Mendel and Darwin individually understood evolution and natural selection but didn't have a holistic view simultaneously. Mendel's genetic inheritance findings complemented Darwin's theory. Human history shows delayed knowledge dissemination with the Bronze Age recipe example, contrasting today's instant knowledge sharing. Collective problem-solving now prevails, akin to the drivers of evolution by random mutation and natural selection. The term 'synthetic biology' is critiqued, advocating 'nature co-design' instead, reflecting human history of tweaking the natural world for desired outcomes like agriculture and plant breeding.
