Oh well have you seen Idiocracy? Lol. No AI won't likely be used to suddenly make everyone smarter, if that type of tech ever comes to exist. Do you think if Elon musk or the u.s. government had that technology, they would give it away to everyone equally? It would create a separate species with unforeseeable consequences.

Besides, everyone being smarter wouldn''t magically give everyone give equal access to wealth or equal rights, and making the people in power smarter is as likely to make them better tyrants as it is to make them more compassionate.

While it would be wise to reverse the trend of attacking intelligence and education, what we need to get past our biggest problems is an injection of empathy and compassion for human beings.
