Sad reality is that most people are not smart. They’re not creative, original, or profound. Think back to all the empty and pointless convos you had prior to AI or the web.

I don't see it as sad, it's perfectly fine to be mediocre. You can have a full, rich life without being or doing anything extraordinary. I am mediocre and most of the people I know are mediocre - at least mediocre in the sense that there will be no Wikipedia page under my name.

I strongly disagree with this idea.

If you evaluate a fish by asking it to climb a tree, it'll look dumb.

If you evaluate a cat by asking it to navigate an ocean to find its birthplace, it'll look dumb, too.
