This is fundamentally flawed. There are upper bounds of efficiency that are laws of nature. To assume AI would be supernatural is magical thinking.


Natural intelligence appears supernatural from our current understanding, so it's not surprising that AGI also appears so.


Neither appears supernatural from a scientific understanding.


And yet it seems to be the prevailing opinion even among very smart people. The “singularity” it’s just presumed. I’m highly skeptical to say the least. Look how much energy it’s taking to engineer these models which are still nowhere near AGI. When we get to AGI it won’t be immediately super intelligent and perhaps it never will be. Diminishing returns surely apply to anything that is energy based?
