Did you read the article or just the headline?

#6The world or humans?
Do we think humans are better off if the world has more intelligence?
The answer is undoubtedly yes IF that intelligence is distributed rather than concentrated. Further concentration of intelligence (power) would be detrimental.
Edit to clarify: I mean distributed in the individual sense, not regional or governmental which fall into the detrimental outcome.

Humans I can see benefitting from more/greater intelligence for sure. It could help mitigate existential threats of all kinds. I agree it depends who wields the power.
My point was that I think it's hard to argue that the world, as in Earth and it's non-human inhabitants, are better off because of human intelligence. So it's questionable whether more intelligence would change that.

#10When it comes to natural intelligence it seems the trend since time immemorial has been that those having higher intelligence would like to see more of it overall.
OTOH, those having the lower intelligence seem like they would prefer a world of declining brainpower instead, and ASAP.
To them it's just too intimidating like it is now.
You can't expect such intelligence-dependent things like that to be much different when it comes to artificial or imitation intelligence of any kind.
That would be so uncanny as to be unrecognizable.
