An intelligence trapped in a computer not hooked to the internet, can at best only advise or influence it's human interactors.

What if the Internet IS the AI?

I don't beleive one machine, even a supercomputer will have the resources to surpass human intelligence.

However, billions of networked PC's, Tablets, smartphones, DVR's, etc. may very well surpass us in ways we cannot even imagine right now.

The internet is not what I consider intelligent. But it easily surpasses man in the abilities that it is good at.
