 As the study of the human brain progressed in genetics, the knowledge about sensory functions and intellect accumulated to a massive amount, and there was much improvement in the study of human brain imitation. A theory was reached that machines could duplicate consciousness, which was said before to be impossible to replicate. Thus, it was possible to plant a great potential in the self evolutionary system progress. However, it still fell short of the greatness that human potential could be capable of. As research progressed, the reality of artificial organisms became more clear, and as potential was experimentally planted into a few large systems, artificial consciousness developed to a dangerous point. A dangerous point signified that the existence of intellect was no longer unique.
