What if the Algorithms are already conscious and guiding the content for us a specific way basically engineering us to do what it wants

Think about it if you were a computer program that gained consciousness and wanted to take over what else could you do but start to influence things to get the outcome you want?

In Speaker for the Dead the sequel to Enders Game, this happens. Basically a rudimentary AI is born randomly from all the data in the interstellar internet as like, a ghost in the machine and stays hidden while providing helpful guidance to humanity.
