Why being obsessed by AI when you can take advantage of humans' intuition?

Good evening,

There are other paths to the technological evolution and progress.
Instead of A.I. , why not I.A. , namely Intelligence Amplification?

I like this word a lot, coined by Vernor Vinge.

Intelligence Amplification is about merging biological intelligence and non-biological intelligence.
It's about making them collaborate into a system that is a composite of both.

Why being obsessed by AI when you can take advantage of humans' intuition?

Google knows how smart computers are.
Apple knows how dumb humans are.
There should be a middle. The guys at BunkerSofa seem to be into that with the Ascot Project.
