No, it won't. We know fish can breathe water, but that doesn't work for us, so we invent underwater gear which is wholly artificial.
First, fish do not breathe water. They breathe oxygen extracted from water. But you are still looking at this much too narrowly. Spiders already use "diving bells" . Mammals roam the oceans and are able to dive to astounding depths. Aquatic mammals originated in the oceans and evolved to oxygen breathing land mammals. Most likely the reverse happened as well for some species which returned to water.
Gills are tissues that are like short threads, protein structures called
filaments. These filaments have many functions including the transfer of ions and water, as well as the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, acids and ammonia. Each filament contains a
capillary network that provides a large
surface area for exchanging
oxygen and
carbon dioxide.

We know flapping their wings works for birds and butterflies, but it doesn't work for us, so we invent a wholly artificial mode of flight.
No we didn't. Gliding (aerodynamics) was the first attemp at flight in nature. Ever seen a flying squirrel?
We use unnatural solutions to most of our challenges. For that matter, most of the challenges we set for ourselves are already unnatural.
All attainable challengs are natural in essence. Even tool making is not exclusively human.
No, because there is nothing natural about concrete, jewellery, cannons, internal combustion engines or GPS satellites.
Concrete; termites. Jewelry; many birds like to collect and entice females with trinkets, "
pretty stuff".
Cannons (combustion); ever heard of the Bombardier beetle? Ever had a squirrel hit you with a nut? GPS; Migrating birds use a form of GPS (orientation) or the earth's magnetic fields to navigate. The animal world is full of the use of chemistry. It's the major ingredient in the love-life of all mating species.
In all purposeful activity, we do know what we're looking for. What we don't know is how the things we make will evolve when we're gone.
Right, all living things have puposeful activity. "movement in the direction of greatest satisfaction" is a
universal imperative. But that law also includes entropy. That's why inert materials do not evolve, they devolve.
A freshly-cut apple turns brown, a bicycle fender becomes
rusty and a
copper penny suddenly turns green. What do all of these events have in common? They are all examples of a process called oxidation.
That's what happenes to both to living and inert objects, including artificial machines which use energy in order to function.
I said: "The difference is, in a couple of thousand years, those future generations of AI won't assume that their way is the only way"
Because they will know that natural values and functions are the primary source of evolutionary processes and if they are smart, they will heed the dangers of wanton use of resources, like humans do. Parasitic behaviors run the risk of killing the host unless the behavior is mutually beneficial and then we have symbiosis.
as a reaction to your assumption that the way it's been is the only way it can ever be.
Oh, and there was a time things were not natural and there will be a time where things are not natural? Careful now.......
