> have we been seriously underestimating bird intelligence all this time

another question that I keep asking myself is: are we seriously overestimating human intelligence all this time?

[yen223]

I think there's ample evidence that humans have some incredible things, that most animals haven't

[neoden]

Yes, humans invented new ways to communicate with some obvious incredible results, but how much a single human is more intelligent than a single animal? Is this difference that big as we used to believe?

[account42]

Yes it absolutely is.

[Towaway69]

Like inventing the artificial kind of intelligence!

I sometimes wonder whether we invented AI because we felt lonely in a universe where we - apparently by our own judgement - are the only intelligent beings.
