I think we we are very far from the point where computers are smarter
than us. For. e.g. computer can not, as of yet, come up with a Random
number without seeding - a function that human brain can perform with
ease.

This was always the case. Even the Egyptians used primitive machines
to build those pyramids. They used the machines to do tasks they were
not capable of.

And if computers do become smarter then us, and what would be use of
human mind in their world? Maybe they will keep few human minds to
generate random numbers?
