you could think in a bit different dimmension. imagine we humans are a single cell organisms and thing that emerges from ai is a human. and we as humans are cells in that human. no cell in your body is smarter than you. your smart actually comes from all the cells in your body. same with ai. its like you trying to be smarter than italy. italy is already smarter than you even without AI.
