Re:Decades-long bet on consciousness ends – it’s philosopher... by kaba0 on Sunday June 25, 2023 @04:05AM (#36465951)
I read a great comment on HN that argued that super-human intelligence is not that “OP” advantage — and it really did convince me.

Life is a game with elements where intelligence matters, plenty where it is pure luck, and others where we have a bunch of unknowns (data).

Would a super-intelligent AI have a significant advantage in a game of Monopoly, for example? I think many sci-fi scenarios fail to take this into account, especially the data aspect. Humans are quite intelligent (in the extremes at least), and any extra over that may well be in the diminishing returns category.
