"...will be many times smarter than humans."

Stop there.

We, as humans, don't even know how smart we actually are - and we probably never will. It's very unlikely that any species is equipped to accurately comprehend its own cognitive limits - if such limits even exist.

It's even less likely that we can relegate the intelligence of a nonhuman entitity to a mathematically meaningful figure without restricting the testing material to concepts and topics meaningful to humans - which may have absolutely no relation to the intelligence or interest domains of a nonhuman entity.




Please. We refuse to talk about how smart we are for political reasons, that's all.
