Is it possible for computers to be much smarter than humans? And if so
Does this now (or in the future when it will be), have any religious implications?
Is it possible that the purpose of the world is not man, but those intelligent creatures that man will create in the future?

Scholars. Understanders. Researchers. Philosophers. Thinkers. Developers. Inventors. Creators. Builders.
And in short, can do everything the stupidest and the smartest humans have done, and beyond.
I saw in column 35. There you somehow connect discretion with free choice.
I didn't notice that you explained the connection between discretion and free choice, it seems that you assume that it is related to it a priori. When I understand discretion, it is a process that takes time. You bring things up from memory, you link one thing to another, and every new thing has to be brought up from memory again, and that takes time.
So what part exactly is free choice? The memories? The connection? The understanding? For some reason, all of these things seem to me to be quite clear processes that do not depend on choice at all. And in general, where is there choice in discretion.
And in any case, to the question itself, if there were such a computer, which is smarter than humans, in everything, does this have religious implications?
In column 35 I explained that the decision, the result of discretion, is equivalent to free choice. This and that are not computational processes but free, except that one is in the mind and the other in the will.
Therefore, the answer to the question is that the computer is a puppet and therefore cannot be smarter than humans or smarter at all. In any case, I see no room for discussion regarding its moral and religious status. It does not have one.
If the computer also receives free will and free discretion, it will simply be a person and not a computer. According to “her”:

Let's say such a computer is developed as in the movie. What does this say about us humans.
Suddenly we have become the monastery of creation, just another stage in the chain of evolution. Just as the ancient primates were in relation to us.
If this is really the case. That we biological humans are just a stage in the unfolding. What does this say about current religious belief? Does it still have meaning?
