But this is a good thing for egalitarians. It offsets one of the most unfair aspects of the knowledge economy: that some people get to have much more fulfilling and remunerative careers than average people because they were lucky enough to be born smart.

It's actually the opposite. People who are "born smart", will leverage AI to get more knowledgeable even faster, use it to learn new things faster, use it to churn through data to find patterns and opportunities, and use it to do labor for them, so they can make even more money than those not born smart, who will just use AI to ask it what's 3x3 and if the earth is flat.

Inequalities have been growing for a while now, either we have less and less smart people, or it just does not work like you think it works, probably because your take is super naive and barely scratches the surface of first order effects while ignoring everything else

It's actually the opposite and more complicated than that. AI-developed nootropics and germline editing will saturate human intelligence across individuals.

If only popping pills were the easy hack to people getting smarter.
That's like saying drinking coffee will make people go faster.

And distribution and will to take bioenhancements is equal across all intelligences?

That is the null hypothesis, yes. Do you have evidence otherwise?

A good portion of people hate A.I. and won't even use it...they won't use a computer program to enhance their intellience, much less taking a pill...

This is an inference, not evidence. It doesn't meet my epistemic standard necessary to reject the null hypothesis.

It seems to me that historically there was a high water mark for what people were able to accomplish on their own and all people, dumb to smart, fell somewhere at or below that high water mark.
My opinion is that our current generation of A.I. will just raise the high water mark for what's possible.
Until we have AGI, ASI, or Recursively improving AI....A.I. in it's current form is a tool that adds a constant to some peoples intelligence and an exponent to other peoples intelligence...and many people of all intelligences refuse to use it.

It was not meritocracy. And the thing that cane for whatever merit based advantages were was not AI, but capture of politics by moneyed interests.

K shaped economy is not result of AI.
