I'm highly sceptical of this claim. Life is easier for smart people, and that is perhaps why they can be more generous. However, some of the kindest people I've met aren't very intelligent and some of the most devious people I've met have high IQs.

Much of the advantage of being smart might be wiped out when everyone has a high IQ personal assistant inside their phone, thanks to AI.

unless you're interacting with people through your phone in person, how do you gain that advantage? we don't have ar glasses that can help with that yet so the smartphone augment has the problem of input and output.

casinos are one place where, if you were an impossibly smart human, you could make money. hence, there are some fascinating cheat devices for use at casinos. there's a reason they don't let you use your phone while playing in case you were gonna cheat at cards.
