Is AI going to make human intelligence obsolete? From Fred Reed at fredoneverything.org:

These days, not unreasonably I think, people wonder whether artificial intelligence will produce an electronic being superior to, well, us. Others of darker immaaginings ask whether we don’t face the arrival of a real-life Terminator. Science fiction? These days, it has a short shelf life.
Actually, the superior being has probably already happened, if so far in bits and pieces. Let us consider what these bits are, and their assembly into a Terminator, whom we will affectionately call Arnold.
First,Arnold’s mental capacities. Then, is robotic physicality.
breadth of knowledge is usually thought a sign of intelligence. Arnold, with a Wifi link in his head, would know everything on the internet, books, history, quantum physics, the weather in Chengdu, geography, and just about everything else. Yes, I know, we are all used to this and it looks like mere lookup and not intelligence. Wait a minute.
A Red Feed some Chuck Bukowski stylings!
I like it just this side of Hunter S. Thompson.
THX 1138/HAL 9000 world ain’t scary.
As the professor (RIP) said…you only have to be 10% smarter.
Some are almost robotic in training and thought and what a gift it is. (H/T-God)
