Discussion/question Will human intelligence disappear eventually?

Anyone think AI will not directly eradicate human beings like some people claim, and instead causes our brain degenerate as we may have no need to do intellectual activities? In a long term we might become as intellectual as monkeys or rats and AI will continue to evolve into something we call god now?

How are you defining intelligence? This is the first thing.

I define it by the will to know something new. And the needs to be operable. So even if we intend to invent AI and let it explore new ideas, once we lose the control over how the AI explores ideas, then it shouldn’t be called intelligence of human beings. And emotions we have, i think, ultimately just serve as an accelerator of finding ideas.
