I forgot that most people are not so surprisingly unafraid of AI because they somehow think it is not dangerous to share the planet with a species that is more intelligent than your own, but because they still cannot imagine that it will happen.
Our intelligence does not scale well, because brains cannot grow much larger, childhoods (= initial training periods) cannot be much extended, and communication between minds is limited. There is no obvious comparable limit for an electronic brain. One may outsmart all of us.

But what does "outsmart" imply?? Are you sure it implies what you're implying it implies?

The image "outsmart" suggests to me is a line of humans all queuing up to try to beat the superintelligence at a game of chess or similar. "Damn, that was out smartest guy, & he was still hopelessly outmatched!" I'm not not at all convinced that's how aggregate capability works.
