"Smarter" is a vague term. If a bot can beat you at chess then in some sense it's "smarter" than you about chess. After repeating this feat in enough narrow domains, if you say "but it's not really smarter," this objection might technically be true in some sense, but it starts sounding increasingly hollow.

In conclusion:

That's an absurdist argument that would make 'smarter' meaningless.

A giraffe isn't smarter than me at being tall.
