Superhuman Intelligence, Super Absurd?
I posit that it might be impossible to be smarter than a human
Brief Description
Talk of the singularity, and of artificial intelligence in general, often assumes that computers or computer-brain combinations will eventually achieve superhuman intelligence. Any subsequent discussion speculates on when it will happen, whether it is a good thing, what will happen afterward, and so on...but the starting assumption, that there is such a thing as superhuman intelligence in the first place, is never questioned. I would like to put forth that idea that it might not be possible to possess superhuman intelligence. The very concept itself may be fundamentally flawed.
