Do you think AI will eventually get smarter than us and take over?

When you look at how people vote, and their lack of understanding on cornerstone issues.....................I think AI, has already exceeded the cognitive ability of 70% of the worlds population, but heck, what do I know.

Obviously! To even ask this question shows your ignorance

maybe

If the average IQ is, indeed 100, then it’s already smarter than us.

Anyway I’m emotionally unavailable

Smarter than us? Probably. Takeover? No.

What does "smart" mean? Is it retrieving existing facts or making something new from them?

It is already smarter than much of the population, but humans are still in control. The more AI allows itself to be automated in power supply, the more independent it will be.

Yes and they will.
