A tumor is a part of an organism that has mutated to play a much shorter game than the organism itself. Humanity seems to be a tumor on the biosphere. The industrial revolution is that happy moment when the host was switched to mostly delivering nutrients to the tumor.

It could also be seen as a worm morphing into butterfly and to do so it is absorving all life from previous self to do the transition

The problem with this metaphor is that the tumor is not going to flutter around the flowers and lay its eggs to grow a new organism after the host organism dies. Perhaps AI could be our butterfly, a sparkling machine being rising out of the ashes of a failed human civilization?
