I find it equally arrogant to believe that humans will achieve strong AI any time in the near future.

I'm not convinced we are any closer to creating human-level AI than we were before we invented computers..
We are closer, but we are still far, far away.
Why?
Okay. It was arrogant of Alexander the Great to think he could conquer Persia. It was arrogant of Kennedy/NASA to think they could go to the Moon within a decade. What's your point?
The Manhattan project or the Apollo program were even more arrogant.
So you're agreeing with me that the person I was replying to was wrong?
