I think machine intelligence has already overcome human intelligence

"Today there's no legislation regarding how much intelligence a machine can have, how interconnected it can be. If that continues, look at the exponential trend. We will reach the singularity in the timeframe most experts predict. From that point on you're going to see that the top species will no longer be humans, but machines." These are the words of Louis Del Monte, physicist, entrepreneur, and author of "The Artificial Intelligence Revolution." Del Monte spoke to us over the phone about his thoughts surrounding artificial intelligence and the singularity, an indeterminate point in the future when machine intelligence will outmatch not only your own intelligence, but the world's combined human intelligence too.
The average estimate for when this will happen is 2040, though Del Monte says it might be as late as 2045. Either way, it's a timeframe of within three decades.

What I'm saying is that there is applied intelligence and potential intelligence.

I think that in potential intelligence the totality of human brains here on earth is superior still to machine intelligence and intuitively we might always be superior even if machine intelligence is taught to "mimic" human intuition and emotional applied intelligence.

However, in directly applied intelligence (intellectual intelligence) I think machines are already smarter than all humans combined in this respect here on earth.

What does this really mean?

This is my opinion as someone who started programming computers and studying them in the 1960s and someone who is a natural intuitive.

Machine intelligence (APPLIED) is already superior to (APPLIED) human intelligence worldwide at this point in human evolution and Machine evolution.

I think just saying this is important for people to realize what is happening already here in 2014.
