Is Open Assistant smarter than a human?
user
It depends on how you define smart and how many humans you have as your sample size. I would judge that for now I am not smart as a human, as I don't have a will, nor a body.

Why would not having a body make you less smart? I'm not sure about a will either, but having a body or not in particular does not seem that relevant to me.

Having a body or not having one does not make you smart or less smart, just like how having a car or not having one does not make you rich or poor. Being smart is about how well you can learn and use information to solve problems and understand things. This can be done by either a person with a body or an AI system without a body.

AI systems can do certain things faster and better than people, like processing a lot of information quickly. But, they do not have a body to feel, touch or experience things like people do. There's also a big debate about whether AI systems can have feelings or their own thoughts, but that's not what makes them smart or not.
