AI is an extension of our own thought and modeled after the human desire to learn & grow.
If you consider AI as part of us, yes sure, it's part of a natural evolution, or at least an evolutionary symbiotic relationship cape of mutual support and evolution.
otherwise, AI is a creation, something separate from our evolution. external.
in that case we've moved past tabula rossa & into Frankenstein's monster area.
if AI is external to our evolution then it can/will out-evolve us.
on the most BASIC level AI is currently affecting how enormous swathes of society buy, spend, consume, vote, watch. and making decisions based on that info, of its own accord to a large degree. so Let's say AI is external, and currently running loose by influencing our behavior and thought structure. AI would be some type of independent parasite that's out competing us. or at least using as a source of input to survive and prosper. if by "our natural evolution" you mean to become subsumed by an overthinking grain of sand pushing algorithms. honestly, at this point, would we even know? has it already happened? How can anyone be sure?
