> There will always be a place for human intellect. Machines will not replace us. I have precisely zero confidence of this and anyone that thinks otherwise is very shortsighted or ignorant or simply lacks imagination. Human intellect is limited by many environmental factors. It has to fit through a 10cm canal, it can't use too much power, it must be made from simple and impure combinations of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen that have poor conductivity, it must dedicate much of its energy to non-reasoning functions like digestion and respiration control. Just as we made machines with many times our physical strength we can make machines with many times our cognitive strength. The brain is ultimately just an arrangement of about 1500 grams of matter. If we find better arrangements and use better matter and assemble larger amounts of it we will have something with much greater cognitive strength.
