Wrong. Once AI is equal to human intelligence its owner(s) can task it with rewriting its code to make itself “smarter.” It can and will do do24/7 and increasingly more efficiently. In a few days all bets are off. If tasked for good, the world could change quickly in a good way. But given the whole of human history that is unlikely. This point is called Singularity. It is the single greatest issue we face together.

Wrong!!!

If you don't know what a higher intelligence is and feels like, then, you cannot logically rewrite or code for it.

What you and the article are proposing, is akin to a dog or a horse being able to do things at a higher level than they are capable of, like think like a dolphin. We are only capable of understanding things at a human level, and not above that. Therefore, we cannot create anything that is smarter than a human being. We are limited in our 'powers' and we cannot rewrite or create anything more capable than we are. Intelligence at a higher level than humans, is unknowable by humans. It's science fiction to think otherwise, and not even in the movies has anything been created that emulates a higher intelligence..

A human being cannot think at a higher level than is possible for humans, therefore, no machine or AI can be 'programmed' to do thinking at a higher level than humans. To think otherwise, is not logical.
