  Oversimplification, as a logical fallacy, involves presenting a complex issue or situation in an overly simplistic manner, neglecting essential details and nuances.

  When it comes to natural intelligence it seems the trend since time immemorial has been that those having higher intelligence would like to see more of it overall.

  OTOH, those having the lower intelligence seem like they would prefer a world of declining brainpower instead, and ASAP.

  To them it's just too intimidating like it is now.

  You can't expect such intelligence-dependent things like that to be much different when it comes to artificial or imitation intelligence of any kind.

  That would be so uncanny as to be unrecognizable.

  This is one of the better Andrew Ng interviews.

  The world or humans?
