If they want the smartest AI possible

And the AI is learning from people, preferably from birth.
But then why dumb people down for decades first?
That makes no sense to me.

That’s a good question, no idea what the answer could be don’t know much about anyone who is developing AI or intentionally dumbing down people for decades.

A benevolent AI would most likely seek to eliminate anyone who is doing the later, I would hope.

@Sphinx Perhaps dumbing people down first makes AI more easily acceptable to the masses.

It goes with the whole Alien threat narrative that A.I. can be used as a weapon to save humanity.
