I believe that it's perfectly possible to design artificial intelligences that are superior to humans in specific ways. We can design AIs that process information faster, store more data, beat the world's best chess players, etc. Is there some fundamental quality of human intelligence that cannot theoretically be reproduced by an artificial intelligence? With a big enough database and sufficient processor speed you can brute force chess. As it is, it is a matter of two things.

1. Efficient pruning algorithm.
2. Perfect memory.

Both of which were designed by people in the first place.

Could a computer paint? Write best selling novels?
