Life started on Earth 4.5 billion years ago. Or maybe 3.5 billion years? It doesn't matter.
Let's write this in full: 4,500,000,000.
It eventually produced e.g. humans, among other equally or more interesting living beings.
Being generous, the first human being appeared about 300,000 years ago.
Compare the numbers:
4,500,000,000
00000300,000
Can you see how recent this is? An insignificant fraction of the history of life on earth.
Now, in just a few years, we have AGI as a prospect for the next year or so, after we have AI.
Let's be generous, and pretend the quest for AI started in the 19th century, with Babbage with the idea of the computer, and then in the 20th century with Turing's ideas improving this (and also his AI ideas).
4,500,000,000
00000300,000
00000300,100
Congratulations, academics and corporations for doing what took 4.5 billion years in just an insignificant fraction of the time.
Nobody understands the human brain, as people who research it will tell you themselves.
People after AGI are just in the most delusional state anybody can be.
We don't even understand well enough how our bodies work, let alone our brains.
