There's no inherent value in calling a computer "smarter" than a human, because computers aren't "smart" like humans -- it implies a single or small collection

There's no inherent value in calling a computer "smarter" than a human, because computers aren't "smart" like humans -- it implies a single or small collection of metrics that measure intelligence, when in reality we can't even reliably sort humans by intellect.

When we create a computer that can do everything a human can do but better/faster, then we can call it smarter. I find it odd that you think just because smartness is hard to quantify that there is no value in calling a computer smart.

  No we can call it smart when it can think of new ideas. Just being faster does not make you smarter.

  It's not hard to quantify, it's impossible to quantify. I don't think it's odd to find a word to be of little/no value when it can't be applied precisely.
