      Superhuman AI is obviously possible - humans are possible, but obviously aren’t remotely optimal. We e.g. can’t at all visualize/intuit 4D space, despite handling 3D space just fine. There are so, so many things that computers already beat the best humans at, even just creating a digital analogue to the human brain design and essentially refactoring it so it’s not hardwired around human physical limits (the wattage, in particular) would make it better than every human. Or, figuring out what was so special about Einstein and reproducing it. Or just being able to run a physicist’s brain on a GPU, then getting 1 000 000 GPUs and creating the world’s largest para-university of physics.

    If we do manage to make a sentient program, it will either go the route of Terminator or Borg. Hopefully after it wipes us out, it will manage to remove our shitty biases from its code.

      That assumes that there are only those two options, you have the paperclip problem as an option, the best case scenario is that the super human AI model just ignores us or wants to cooperate with us the way we try to cooperate with species like wolves to manage ecosystems.
