Of course. But they're going to be machines. I don't think there's magic that makes the human brain impossible to automate. And engineering is going to lead to faster improvements than evolution could.

You're ignoring a much more mundane problem.

What makes you think that there are economic incentives to build an AI that has the same capabilities as the human brain?

The current scaling story is to intentionally take a system that objectively doesn't and sell it as if it does.

What makes you think that offloading expertise and making fungible whatever human operators remain necessary has no economic incentives?

lol yeah sure. AI sucks and always will.

People will say that until it doesn't. We're currently in the largest research investment in history for this, and have made a crazy amount of progress since even five years ago.

I'm not cocky enough to bet against it. Especially since now AI is solving frontier math problems, debugging better than humans, and writing most of the content posted to Hacker News.
