It has become clear since alphaGo that intelligence is an emergent property of neural networks. Since then the time and cost requirements to create a useful intelligence have been coming down. The big change was in August when Stable Diffusion was able to run on consumer hardware. Things were already accelerating before August, but that has really kicked up the speed because millions of people can play around with it and discover intelligence applications, especially in the latent space.
