I think most people didn&#x27;t really understand the meaning of your comment. They seem to all equate intelligence and processing speed.<p>I think it&#x27;s legitimately an interesting question. As in, it could be something like Turing completeness. All Turing complete languages are capable of computing the same things, some are just faster. Maybe there&#x27;s nothing beyond our level of understanding, just a more accelerated and accurate version of it. An AI will think on the same level as us, just faster. In that case, in that hypothetical, an AI 100x faster than a person is not much better than 100 people. It won&#x27;t forget things (that&#x27;s an assumption, actually), it&#x27;s neuron firing or equivalent would be faster, but maybe it won&#x27;t <i>really</i> be capable of anything fundamentally different than people.<p>This is <i>not</i> the same as the difference between chimps and humans. We are fundamentally on another level. A chimp, or even a million chimps, can never accomplish what a person can. They will not discover abstract math, write a book, speak a language.<p>Mind you, I suspect this is not the case. I suspect that a super intelligent AI will be able to think of things we can never hope to accomplish.<p>But it is an interesting question that I think is worth thinking about, rather than inanely down voting the idea.
