chatgpt is smarter than most humans in many ways already . ai will surpass the dumb human primate brain very soon
ChatGPT and AI are programmed by humans and can only be as smart as the humans programming it. Further, AI is not going to advance as people believe because all it does is plagiarize and steal creators' copyrighted work.
The New York Times is suing ChatGPT and Microsoft right now because of copyright infringement. People were asking ChatGPT to write various stories; and it just spits out verbatim copyrighted material by the New York Times (just like you asked it about human consciousness, and it gave you subjective sources already written by scientists and journalists. It did not provide anything "intelligent").

Books authors are suing ChatGPT and Microsoft for using their copyrighted books to train their AI without permission or compensation.

The E.U. passed regulations, forcing all AI companies to disclose their sources. That means more lawsuits since AI cannot function without stealing other people's copyrighted work.

OpenAI is ceasing operations in the E.U. due to these regulations and the threat of thousands of lawsuits.

So no, AI is not smarter than humans, particularly human courts and lawyers, and passionate creators, writers, photographers, graphic designers, etc. who are well on the way to shutting down AI completely through the Courts and government. All AI is, is unauthorized, illegal reproduction of human creativity.
