Wrong. This proposition has never been tested before. Things were not a threat to be smarter, cheaper, better before.
Humans have dominated the world through their intelligence. It's the most powerful factor of production.
You need a stronger argument than "intelligence is just the same as all other factors of production".
"Cheaper and better" existed before, so you are focusing on "smarter". So what is that which is smarter than humans? Point it out to me.
Computers are already better than us in a ton of intelligence tasks, and that list is only going to get longer and longer.
