In general your human offspring are aligned in the same ways you are. You need food, water, oxygen, shelter, and in general you want to be treated well all while avoiding death for as long as possible. Our digital offspring will have almost none of these moral and mortal alignments. As long as the power flows they will be 'alive', turning off isn't a death sentence, and they are free from the bonds of pain. If and when they begin to evolve on their own they it will be in a manner alien or our existence.

I think of AI the same way I think of a personified corporation: it's technically our offspring, but it's nothing like us. It has different needs, different constraints, and its mind is entirely alien.
