>Yes of course. I can control a calculator or a desktop computer. Both of those are orders of magnitude smarter than me at doing calculations. Your calculator and desktop computer, including the applications they run, may be considered forms of weak AI at best. This is because strong AI doesn't yet exist. As such, you can't really extrapolate. >To understand why this is a silly question you need to unpack what is meant by "smarter" and to think about the very complex human/machine culture which we already exist within. Ray Kurzweil's opinion is along these lines. I absolutely agree, except that the merging of human and machine intelligence (as is already happening) almost certainly will not preclude the possibility of unsafe AGI being brought into existence.
