Change arrives gradually, and then suddenly.

It takes nature thousands of years to create a rock that looks like a face, just by using geology. A human can do that in a couple hours. And then this AI can generate 50 3d human faces per second (assuming enough CPU).

It could be that an AGI is around the corner, as they say. We might not be machines, but are way faster than nature at reaching places. We don't have the option of waiting for thousands of years.
