I doubt that. A stupid human is more likely to see certain actions as
just plain 'wrong'. Think of simple folk wisdom, or the 'Being There'

Clever humans, on the other hand, can devise magnificent
justifications for any wrong act that they want to do.

Intelligence level is not linked to morality.
