Because a) we know human-level intelligence is possible because we can directly observe it, b) GPU development has clearly slowed a lot but it hasn't stopped, c) even if it had stopped that doesn't mean they can never improve ever again, d) GPUs probably aren't the most efficient architecture for AI anyway so there are more opportunities for development even without process improvements, e) we're clearly not that far off AGI.

This is the sort of thing that might have made sense in 2005, not 2025.

Correction: (a) we can observe the effects of human-level intelligence but we don't actually know what human intelligence is because intelligence is best described as a side-effect of consciousness (aka the experience of qualia) and science has yet to provide a convincing explanation of what that is exactly.

> … what human intelligence is because intelligence is best described as a side-effect of consciousness …

Is "human intelligence" and "intelligence" equal?

And: How to become conscious before being intelligent?

Or: If intelligence is a side-effect, how often this side-effect can't be observed?

Xor: What if an intelligent being denies being conscious?

I didn't say in (a) that we know what human intelligence is exactly. I said that we know it is possible. It exists.

I fully disagree on your point (e) and everything pretty much hinges on that.
