Yes, you are right. It is always hard to conclude which is best and why? So, before going into this long discussion, let me give you some background of these elements.
Today, I was on the way and saw a small shoppe. It had a board at the top and name was "Q something y Sweets". Yes, the something was not that much visible as that portion was under dark. But, only this was input to my brain and the output was "Quality Sweets" and it was so prompt. Of course the shoppe had same name on board. Few days ago, I saw a Salon shoppe and the board was very ill maintained and (J,T,A,R,S,A,L and N) were only letters visible.The output from my brain was very prompt and it was "JENTS STAR SALON". Whenever I hear or see something then my brain parses the same and If I will be more specific and talk about a string of characters written somewhere then if that is complete then it simply reads and stores ( I believe) on memory stack and if words are not complete or missing something then it searches in memory stack and gives me best possible results. If I hear Indian and something which I did not get clearly when someone is speaking then my brain gives me possible results like Indian Market, Indian Team or something which is stored in memory stack with latest refreshed timestamp. This is same as one file with list of strings stored and simply using "grep" command for those words and get the rows in output. We can also build the same and attach the same somewhere in hand like a wrist watch. The task is to capture and scan the character world surrounding the person ; and store it in a file with load timestamp. Now, whenever we will encounter some incomplete names or something then it will search and list possible outputs from the file. Joking :). So, the storing of info in a file and searching constitute intelligence. When my brain performs this task then it is Natural in nature and when some computer program then it is artificial.
So, now you must have an idea of these two terms. Natural Intelligence has capacity to build and support Artificial Intelligence so, in a way, it seems superior to later.
Now, consider a mathematical problem of calculating sum of "n" terms for an Arithmetic Progression Series. Say series is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,....,Tn. If my brain will try to calculate then it will search the pattern of the problem already learnt in memory stack and solve it. Sn=N/2(T1+Tn) so, for 10 terms, it will calculate S10=10/2(1+10)=55. Very fast ..is not it? As I just did based on natural learning which my brain had in past. On the other hand, if I have a computer program in C or Shell like this:
#!/bin/ksh
t1=1;
common_difference=1;
n=10;
tn=$t1 + ($n -1)*$common_difference;
S=$(( $n/2 * $t1 + $n/2 * $tn ));
echo "Sum to $n terms= $S"
The above program will be also as fast as my brain replied for 10 terms. This is a learning stored in the form of an algorithm or steps of instructions which need to be followed but, still we need natural intelligence to drive this program. Now, say we need to calculate for 1500000 terms then my brain will cry and no doubt it will take more time than the program. In this place, you can see a program which represents Artificial type of intelligence is better than our brain which represents Natural type of intelligence. I don't want to mix this with Machine learning and all. That is typical area where I don't want this blog to draw reader attention. The objective is to present a differentiation between Natural and Artificial Intelligences and then if we can draw a conclusion which is better and why?. So, if we consider above problem then AI is better than NI. Even in case of searching words and strings. Similalrly, in all problems which have substantial scale to defeat brain. But, there is one area where this Natural Intelligence beats AI and that is forever. That area is innovation and creativity. NI will keep discovering new stuffs and is not limited to this program and that problem. It has very wide scope. It deals with n number of problems which it receives in the form of stimuli and stores respective learnings in memory. But, AI is very limited and has very narrow scope. AI has to get driven by NI. In this way, Natural Intelligence is far better than Artificial Intelligence. Yes, but, AI is very useful for solving problems and learning . It will add value to applied world as it it ensures minimum number of memory or instruction calls to Natural Intelligence.
