The problem all along has been that though you might design a computer with the brain power of everyone on earth or even the brain power equal to trillions of people in theory, you could not build a computer that simulates instinct and intuition.
However, that problem can be overcome by teaching a computer to profile through software. By applying profiling techniques to history a computer with enough brain power could theoretically approximate instinct and intuition of any mammal or bird including humans and thereby predict with some certainty the thoughts and actions of individuals or groups of human beings with relative certainty.
Whether this is useful to the survival of mankind here on earth or beyond is another question though.
If mankind creates a God Like Computer system capable of processing information both intellectual, instinctual and intuitive even if it is in a mimicking kind of way, how long would human beings stay alive and not go extinct?
Also, if you have computers to grow food, to transport you, to feed you and clothe you, what would it still mean to actually be a human being if that human had no need to do anything but be taken care of like a pet or a baby?
It is theoretically possible that humans would not need to work, or do anything or even read or write but instead just do whatever they wanted to 24 hours a day for hundreds of years of an individual lifetime. What would it even mean at that point to actually be a human being?
That being would have nothing at all in common with us here today on earth.
