Go up one level in this thread


Intelligence is a collection of many different skills (some say there are 12
kinds of intelligence) that we ascribe to being intelligent.  So what is Super
Intellelligence?  Is it being able to do human like tasks better than humans or
something we don't even recognize?  If the former is true then we already have
super intelligence on a limited scale.

My point is that pen and paper is a better memory device than most people.  A
slide rule can do math better than most people.  The advancement of computer
intelligence won't be something that suddenly overtakes us but instead it will
be integrated with our daily lives and become a part of us.  The real super
intelligence will be us with our powerful new tools.
