Well, if I look around at our world today, I would say that the human mind
has accomplished a great many things, from building vast cities, developing
a science that can explain the physical world in both its microscopic and
macroscopic forms, to sending manned spacecraft to the moon and unmanned
exploratory spacecraft to other planets throughout the solar system, to
evolving a mathematics that can represent and work with highly non-linear,
dynamic, multi-dimensional spaces, to writing great works of literature, to
visualizing and manipulating single atoms, to creating a world wide
communications network, to designing and mass producing amazing small and
powerful computer-based machines, to ... well the list is impressive. yes,
we still have our reptilian, xenophobic, tribal behaviors that may one day
destroy the environment and plunge us into terrible wars. But we are not
dumb, we are just, in a swarm intelligence way, constrained by our emotional
and biological attachment to a world of "fight or flight" that has mostly
disappeared.

Computers are not only dumb they are just collections of circuits. Without
software they are nothing. It is not that our computers are dumb, it is our
understanding of intelligence and self-evolving intelligent systems that is
flawed. The software that will eventually replicate this process need not be
deterministic or even programmed in the traditional sense. Today some
advanced artificial life and cognitive scientists are beginning to realize
that you cannot program a computer to be intelligent, you have find a way of
evolving intelligence.

Just an observation.
I don't have time to engage in a debate on this.
