AI Vs Humans, which one is smarter?
I have a double-edged and contrary opinion on this topic. I've encountered countless arguments about this, and each time, no human wants to accept that AI is smarter than humans. The main idea they hold onto is that humans created AI, and therefore it is not expected in any way to be smarter than humans, because it only gives out what humans have fed into it.
I don’t want to reason like everyone else, I think AI is smarter than humans. Yes, and I mean it!
Let me use you reading this as an example. Let's say you know literature very well; you can write a good story in a standard format with ease. To you, you're brilliant and an expert in this field. But when you're taken into mathematics or engineering, you struggle badly. Now imagine an entity that can handle literature tasks as accurately as you and still maintain the same level of accuracy in mathematics and engineering. Isn't that entity smarter than you? Of course it is. Or this is not the brilliance we are talking about?🥱
Using myself as a case study, there are many things I use AI to do every now and then. I ask AI a lot of questions, even on things I am good at. Take football as an example: I have deep knowledge about it, but sometimes I get stuck on confusing issues. When I ask people around me, they don’t always have the answers. But whenever I use ChatGPT, the answer always comes up.
Another example in the football world is the usage of AI to detect and capture things that humans or a referee would find it difficult to see. Oh yeah, the recent Camera used in standard football match are being powered by AI. They see things and bring them clear to humans for good judgement.
Isn't that what we consider being smart and intelligent?
Imagine a situation where a person and an AI are meant to write an exam filled with difficult questions, who do you think will excel? Of course, it’s AI! Or are brilliance and intelligence no longer measures of smartness?
One person cannot have all the knowledge in the world, but AI can access vast amounts of it. Isn't that the truth?
The only point people use to rate human intelligence above AI is that humans created AI. Apart from this, there’s little else they rely on. Or unless I’m wrong, lol. It’s true that whatever AI exhibits today is the handiwork of humans, but we should also acknowledge that AI’s capabilities have grown far beyond individual human intelligence, unless every human in the world could somehow be connected to function from a centralized point.
Thanks for reading.
