AI will most definitely be more intelligent than any human.
Here’s what ChatGPT says about intelligence versus smart:
“Intelligence,” is a broad and complex concept. It can refer to a range of mental abilities, including problem-solving, critical thinking, logical reasoning, and abstract thinking. Intelligence is often associated with academic achievement, IQ scores, and cognitive abilities.
“Smart” usually refers to quick thinking, cleverness, or practical knowledge. It often implies the ability to think on one’s feet, come up with creative solutions to problems, or acquire practical skills that are useful in everyday life.
When I was in high school, we knew who the intelligent kids were. They aced the tests, remembered the formulas, and were the ones we asked to help us understand the homework.
Although by no means at the top of the heap, I was pretty intelligent and did well in high school without much effort.
College, though, separated the intelligent kids from the smart ones, and I learned right away that I wasn’t very smart. After my third semester, I barely scratched it into my major (EE) and then barely hung on for the rest of the ride. The high watermark for my cumulative grade point average was 2.99. I never cracked a 3.0.
I learned that the smart kids weren’t just intelligent. They also had a genuine curiosity about their line of study.
Luckily, I’ve gotten smarter. Following my various curiosities has made me smarter.
Would AI ever think to itself, “I’m curious.”
