I quite deliberately define intelligence as “to mitigate uncertainty”, for if it does not mitigate uncertainty it is not intelligent.
The delusional popular view is that there is one device that is “intelligence” and it works every time, is never wrong, and gives instantaneously pleasing results.
Intelligence is every case by case, and the most adept may always be misinformed, under informed, or deceived, no matter what extreme or capacity of intelligence one measures.
Naturally those who solve problems for themselves are more proficient with technology, as its magic is to be an extension of our will. How can one accomplish anything where the will is lacking.
