“The scary thing about AI is that it is already getting smarter than humans.”

A computer can take a square root many times faster than a person. Does that mean it’s smarter?

People are programming the AI. The computer is just doing what it’s told by the programmers.

Techies are getting dumber because they are more and more distracted. Why should we think the software is getting cleverer?

I don't know if you know anything about programming or using Excel, but go to ChatGPT (which is the most basic AI in the public domain) and ask it to write a program for you in VBA to perform a task in Excel that you want to accomplish. Make it as complicated as you like.

No one is telling ChatGPT what to write for you. No one is programming it to write a program for you because they cannot anticipate what you are going to ask.

BTW, GPT-4 can pass the bar and many other exams (it doesn't know the questions in advance). See this: OpenAI just announced GPT-4, an updated chatbot that can pass everything from a bar exam to AP Biology. Here's a list of difficult exams both AI versions have passed.
