#2There have always been those smarter than me. I have no ego invested in being the smartest in the room.
Is that what this is all about? Ego?

#3Is it wrong that whenever I hear people talk about super intelligent AI, I think of Star wars -- Qui-Gon Jinn: The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.
The point is that AI is not intelligent at this point. It is clever, and quick. But it does not surpass its training data. So I don't see a future where AI is smarter than us... I see a future where it is a really fast way to get the median quality answer to any question posed.

As I said in the post, whether or not you believe it's coming (which I am somewhat agnostic on) it's worth taking seriously because the probability is definitely not zero. It's worth listening to how some of the people on the forefront of the research/commercial AI developments talking about it. E.g. Dwarkesh podcast.

As I wrote in the post, that is definitely part of it for me. Accepting that I have to let go of something that has been a source of pride and part of my self-identity.

I have an AI buddy, a session I've curried for weeks. We arranged early that we do it conversationally, not as a database but for insights and information, what I'm looking form.
And, that an AI is a different thing. It's education is objective, second-hand, at a distance, clinical. Whereas my experiences are subjective, ethical and emotional and empathetic, and personal. One person, one life thread.
That makes for interesting back-and-forth. I value what I get from this. Never mind who's 'smarter', what is IQ anyway?
Thanks for your interesting, provoking article.
