Picture if someone invented a set of bionic leg braces. You place these on your legs. They are slick, shiny and inexpensive, allowing anyone to run with world class sprinter speed.
This invention would be impressive to your peers, while owning a pair would good for your vanity. But does it strengthen your natural legs or does it just act like a crutch? If we took off the race braces, after a few months of running, to keep up with the Jones, would your natural legs be in better shape or worse; free running, than when you first put on the braces? I would guess worse, since your leg muscles would atrophy, like in a cast, due to lack of deliberate use.
If a computer program, could think for you, your own ability to think will never get any real exercise. The machine, may allow you to pretend to be smart, which can be good for your vanity. But if we had a power outage, the walk of the brain dead will begin. Without the magic hat, the illusion of being smarter will end, and the brain, that never had to do any real brain exercises, will be weaker. People are more informed today than ever due to technology, but global test scores have gone down, due to less natural brain exercise.
If you look at any state of the art home computers, that are not yet considered AI computers, they can memorize data and calculate anything faster than any human. Humans just cannot keep up. But since these are not considered smart computers, these skills are not a prerequisite of being smart, since even a computer that is not considered smart, can then do it better. A $1 calculator can multiple or divide faster than any human with pen and paper, but that calculator is not considered an intelligent device, except in terms of marketing illusion to sell product.
A genuine future smart, intelligent, conscious computer would require different skills, such as self awareness and the ability to exceed its own programing. If you wish to be smarter than any known computer, the above things are the things you need to learn, using your own brain.
The human brain has to many more features, we have yet to develop, but these require you keep exercising the brain, and not let the braces of a dumb computer, appealing to your vanity, fool you into thinking this is the proper exercise for exceeding AI computers. It still takes people to write that code. Your state of the art computer cannot write that code and exceed itself.
