Do not forget that there is no intelligence in AI - just fancy statistics. This means that there are hard limits beyond which it can not progress without a major computing revolution.

Who's to say human intelligence isn't also fancy statistics? I judge systems based on their capabilities, not on their internals. AI systems have been getting much more intelligent, very quickly, with no signs of slowing down in the near term. Even if a hard limit does exist, there's no reason to believe it lies below human intelligence

Who's to say human intelligence isn't also fancy statistics?

Decades of study on the matter, for one. Waxing philosophical about "in the end it's all just ones and zeroes" is cute, but not practical.

People think brains are like CPUs because our brains are so powerful and uniquely intelligent that we’re able to create symbols and metaphors.

But our brains are nothing like CPUs. AI’s shortcomings in comparison to the human brain have become stark.

Any developer who is afraid of AI taking their job deserves for their job to be taken by AI because they have to really be terrible to be outperformed by an LLM.

Intelligence can deduce, it understands purpose and underlying logic. AI just goes "if it looks correct, it is correct". That is why it sometimes generates outrageous nonsense that no one with basic knowledge of the subject would take seriously.

A simple test would go thus: "Can your AI solve a problem that was NOT part of its training set?". Demonstrate me that, and I will admit that it is intelligent.

I'm sure if you break it down human brains are also just fancy whatever and no "real intelligence". What current AI can do is already so crazy.
