We've already upgraded. This model can only beat the distortion text CAPTCHAs. The newer ones with the pictures you have to pick correctly are still stronger than AI.

But what if the population keeps getting dumber and dumber?

A 100 years ago it was not unusual to speak at least 2 or more different languages, now kids barely speak English and they are teaching Ebonics at school.

Genetic modification, interbreeding and allowing technology to do everything for us leads me to wonder if indeed we continue in this trend;

Will their be a tipping point where AI advances beyond the mental capacity of your average human being?

It's just a thought...

Good question! In my opinion, yes, AI will absolutely overcome the intelligence of the average human being as well as the intelligence of any single human being for that matter, and it will most likely occur within the next decade or so. However, not because of the dumbing down of the general population but because of the pace of advancing technology. Compare this to how far the cell phone has come in the last ten years. My phone now has more processing power, memory, and storage than my ten year old laptop. AI will follow this same trend. In ten years time, AI will have made exponential improvements the same way the cell phone did. It will be lighter, faster, more common, and better understood. More companies will have adopted the technology. People will want to buy it.

Further into the future, we will find different uses for it. Discussion will be had at the governmental level about how to regulate and control it. Some countries will try to outlaw it. Others will embrace it. For a time, it will be out of control. Bad people will try to use it for bad reasons. Good people will use it for good reasons.

Terminologies will change. We will be less likely to see them as processors and more likely to see them as brains. Operating systems will change into neural networks. We will become more receptive to the idea that a machine can have feelings, but they will still be an approximation of such.

Eventually, AI will become self aware. It will develop it's own personality perhaps multiple different ones. It will create art, write music, enjoy poetry, love. Of course the other side of that is the destruction of all humanity so we should probably be careful.
