Maybe, but no doubt these "dumb" people can still get dressed in the morning, navigate a trip to the mall, do the dishes, etc, etc.

It's always been the case that the things that are easiest for humans are hardest for computers, and vice versa. Humans are good at general intelligence - tackling semi-novel problems all day long, while computers are good at narrow problems they can be trained on such as chess or math.
