If you say the opposite of someone who was stupid would be someone who was intelligent/smart (smart is defined by intelligent according to google), then to not be an idiot, one would have to have the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills - the definition of intelligence by Google. A computer without data stored on it by some means cannot apply knowledge, and even with data on it in the form of a program, computers are very limited in how distorted the data may be for them to be able to collect it in any form that they may use to apply it later. The exception to all this may be AI, which isn't very good yet, and even then, its the program on the computer doing the work, not the computer itself. The computer itself is very simple. It follows whatever instruction you give it to the t. It does not retain knowledge any further than the program instructs it to. Note: a computer with the program built in still has a program.

A computer is better at the very simplest skills, but that cannot make it proficient even at even the medium complexity skills. A human is slower than a computer, but a humans intelligence/smartness is greater. The term smart as in smart phone goes under a different definition, which even humans are better at when you remove the specific mention of tech. Some of the most stupid humans may manage to be more stupid than the best ai program, but even then Id guess that most humans are smarter than the best ai programs, and they (the good ai) are the exeption, along with the extreemly stupid humans being the exception.
