Is it wrong that whenever I hear people talk about super intelligent AI, I think of Star wars -- Qui-Gon Jinn: The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.

The point is that AI is not intelligent at this point. It is clever, and quick. But it does not surpass its training data. So I don't see a future where AI is smarter than us... I see a future where it is a really fast way to get the median quality answer to any question posed.

As I said in the post, whether or not you believe it's coming (which I am somewhat agnostic on) it's worth taking seriously because the probability is definitely not zero. It's worth listening to how some of the people on the forefront of the research/commercial AI developments talking about it. E.g. Dwarkesh podcast.
