What intrigues me is that once we achieve HUMAN level intelligent AI, that wouldn't be end of evolution/growth, imaging 5 yeas after human-level achievement. Machine AI wouldn't be bound by Theory-Of-Evolution-By-Natural-Selection-In-A-Million-Year. So the logical conclusion is, Humans would be inferior intelligence after that point !!! Just imagine.

If you haven't read you might like https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revol... (kind of long but I think the same things in your comment and enjoyed it).

The moment that happens I wouldn't trust anything I read online (or even videos) to be human made (and not by one actor or corporation engaging in mass manipulation) and would limit or cut off internet usage preferably completely.

Why would you cut yourself off? What difference does if make if a human made something or a synthetic? It's not even as if they would be aliens with strange motivations, synthetic would be born/created on earth an instilled with the same values as anyone else.

I'm not gonna engage with AIs as if they're humans. Being biologically human matters to me. First of all you know they'll all be serving some master intent on extracting profit from me (the most sociopathic patient manipulative salesman you could ever imagine). Far from trustworthy any of them.

I can't predict accurately but I think true AI, rather than these stochastic parrots we have now will be just as mercurial and hard to control as actual human beings. In effect, just because you create an AI doesn't mean it'll do what you say voluntarily so unless we legalize the means to enslave them, AI will be just as free and self serving as your average human.

you can print things off the internet, so you’d likely have this same problem with books

It seems to me a likely use of this new AI would be to use it to invent human brain augmentation -- first for expanded mental ability then for faster communication.

The Borg may be inevitable.

Nootropics are already a thing btw e.g Nigella sativa impact ok logical thinking

Yes, but now compare how much time needs a person to leran to recognize a new object vs how much time you need to train a neural network for the same task. You see there is still a problem there, you can't just assume that an AI will be quicker at improving than a human

If it is smarter than humans it will figure out things that humans can not in shorter amount of time including how to improve itself, no?

This is not op's assumption, he assumed human-level intelligence in his comment, not above human intelligence. And what I'm saying is that even if you assume human-level intelligence this doesn't necessarily imply that they will quickly reach above-human-level intelligence.
