I mean evolutionary pressures, not an evolutionary analogy. As in the process that lead to human beings has little to nothing in common with the process that leads to computers.
The question was why they wouldn't end up like us, they aren't subject to the same circumstances or process. Differences in circumstance and differences in process are expected to create difference in results.
Those examples you pointed to as lesser forms aren't really a different form of anything even in context. They're all the one entity, multitasking, directing it's faculties. This is what cog sci researchers are referring to when they describe attention schemas, and we program them into games when we want the contents of the game to remind us of life, but it's not clear why or how an attention schema would arise in a machine that doesn't require an attention schema to function, even if there were some process we could credibly call evolution at play in their development.
I think that if we wanted to have an ai that seems like us in any relevant and meaningful sense (even to the trivial point of hiding things), we'd have to explicitly create one.
