The idea that ai will be a revolutionary leap is probably nonsense. What we have seen so far is slow incremental evolutionary development of the tech over decades. Everyone raising money is claiming that the quantum leap is just around the corner but there is very little evidence to support that.

What you actually see is that improvements in perceived machine intelligence show diminishing returns to increasing compute capacity which is a good sign that people are on the wrong track to achieve general ai and that future improvements in perceived intelligence will grow at a slower rate, not exponentially increase.
