I honestly ponder if an LLM trained on every human on earth's input once a month about their opinions on the world and what should be done to fix it would have a "normalized trend" in that regard.

LLMBOT 9000 2024!

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.

Yeah it would be mostly "China stand up!" and "Messi for world leader".

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.
