Intelligence is a difficult quantity to measure, but it definitely exists. Some humans are definitely smarter than others. Able to do tasks that others wouldn't, able to come up with solutions others couldn't, or do things faster/better/etc.
A computer that is thousands of times more intelligent than humans, means it can do things we might think are impossible. Come up with solutions to problems we would never think of in our lifetimes. Manage levels of complexity no human could deal with.
- p1esk 11y agoWe already have plenty of those computers. For example, Google computers are able to process the amount of information no human can possibly process during their lifetime. Other computers can help with design or optimization problems that are so complex that no human can perform them in any reasonable time. Does it mean that those computers are more intelligent than humans?
- Houshalter 11y agoThey aren't intelligent by any reasonable definition. Just ask them what color the sky is.
- p1esk 11y agoBut they are intelligent, according to your own definition: "A computer that is thousands of times more intelligent than humans, means it can do things we might think are impossible. Come up with solutions to problems we would never think of in our lifetimes. Manage levels of complexity no human could deal with." Or did you just redefine intelligence as: "the ability to tell what color the sky is?"
