Think about a colony of army ants. One ant isnt very smart, but thousands of them are connected and comminucate through chemical scents. The colony as a group behaves in a very smart way, it decides when its time to nest and where, when to move on, where to go etc.
In the same way, could a network of interconnected humans be smarter than one person, or atleast some-what intelligent?
Another example would be a human mind, its made up of billions of simple neurons that send and recieve signals in a simple, logical way.
Infact, just like an ant cant comprehend the intelligence of the colony as a whole, perhaps we are not smart enough to realize the bigger picture.
