There's a contradiction in pretending that "humans are not as smart as they think" and that "AI exists": it should be one or the other.

In other words, if machines can convincingly imitate us, does it mean machines are intelligent, or that we're stupid?

I don't see a contradiction.. Humans can both be intelligent and overestimate that intelligence (by thinking it's special and unobtainable) at the same time.

It's gets worse because human intelligence exists on a normal curve.

So is the AI smarter than "most" humans, "some" humans, or "a few" humans ?

At any level of that, you have a paradigm shift affecting millions to billions of people.
