No matter how smart AI gets, it's still a product of the physical universe and thus bound to physical laws and limits. It cannot be infinitely intelligent, it cannot be all-powerful, it cannot transcend physical reality. It cannot be considered a god in any sense that humanity has ever defined such a being.

All AI can ever be, and should ever be considered to be, is really smart software. A tool. A thing that serves humans. Not a god, which by definition is a being that humans serve.

I define God as the plateau of intelligence. You maybe haven’t understood my question, but I am asking we are living in a more brother loop in which less intelligent species build more intelligent species. If the answer is yes, would this mean that AI species will build at a certain point (self-improving) another kind of species?

PS: I know that I use species improperly.

		>I define God as the plateau of intelligence. OK, that's an unusual definition. I think it depends on where the plateau is . If it's just something smarter than humans are capable of being, that might be possible (imagine a being as far beyond us as we are beyond chimpanzees.) If you're talking about a universal plateau, then I don't think that's possible. > but I am asking we are living in a more brother loop in which less intelligent species build more intelligent species. Maybe? I think we're still a very long way away from being able to answer that. All of the claims about AGI seem to me to be marketing hype at the moment. The only thing anyone can do is speculate. Although one of the more interesting solutions to the Fermi paradox that I've seen is something along those lines, that biological life if it advances far enough eventually becomes a transitional species that gives way to AI, and AI is what explores the universe.
