You can still do one heck of a lot better than a human. LOGI 3.1: Advantages of minds-in-general
Sounds true to me; an ultra-narrow AI is more like a trivial optimization process like a thermostat than like a general intelligence.
Eliezer: good intuition pump. The level of argument about Einstein's intelligence relative to the village idiot, instead of discussion of the larger point, is odd.
It seems to me there are so, so, so many apparently trivial things a village idiot knows/can do that a chimp doesn't/can't, the difference is indeed larger than between VI and Einstein, on most reasonable metrics. The point is not about any specific metric, but about the badness of our intuitions.
