Most people aren't anywhere close to Terence Tao on intelligence scale. Even most of HN commenters aren't that close to Terence Tao.

I don't think balancing AI use with creativity and thought is a matter of IQ. It comes down to how you use the tool.

In my practice, I found AI are more useful in adversarial mode ("criticize this concept, "find a possible bug in this code", "challenge me", "quiz me on the knowledge"), because the knowledge found adds up to your own skills.

100%. One of the things I use it for most is to steel-man an argument I hate or criticize a conviction I have.

You don't need super big brain IQ to be creative and expressive, all you need is simply a strong opinion on something, and you don't let AI (or other people) dictate otherwise.

Now the skill issue lies in whether your opinion is a good idea or not lol.
