I still think that when claiming computers are 'smarter' than people, you are side-stepping the fundamental problem with which this article revolves around, and that is the problem of properly defining 'intelligence'. Can computers write a classic novel? Can computers compose a masterpiece? Can computers perform in a ballet? Sure, they can replicate automated tasks and calculate much faster than humans, but that does not make them inherently smarter, especially when you consider that humans created computers, not the other way around.
- daveslash 12y agoYes, I absolutely agree with you! In they're already 'smarter', I had smarter in single quotes - which I imagined myself saying with finger-air quotes. Computers are "smarter" than us in a very narrowly defined way only. As you pointed out, properly defining intelligence is very difficult.
