What is the evidence for such an extravagant claim? Is there a correlation between IQ delta and persuadability that has no degradation as the lower IQ rises? Especially given that there are plenty of people far more intelligent than the President in your example who are much less persuasive.
- Asraelite 3y agoJust define intelligence as "ability to do a task". The human brain isn't magical, it can simulated, so we know for certain that a powerful enough AI can be at least as skilled at any given task as the most skilled human who has ever lived. So for any given person, consider how well the most effective persuader out of 8 billion people would be at persuading them. Maybe they can't always persuade them of anything, but pretty close. This is the lower bound for an AI's maximum theoretical abilities, and it's already enough to rule the world.
