    There are more dumb people than smart people so a “normalized trend” would be a pretty bad idea.

    Most people, regardless of personal beliefs, are highly susceptible to populist rhetoric, and generally you want an AI governance bot to make the right choices, not the popular choices.

      There are more dumb people than smart people.

      Since “dumb” and “smart” are both defined by the median between each other, there logically follows that there are always about as much “dumb” as “smart” people.

        It really doesn’t, because there are very few smart people and shitloads of stupid people. “Average” intelligence levels are quite low, and this is why.
