Superhuman AI is obviously possible - humans are possible, but obviously aren’t remotely optimal. We e.g. can’t at all visualize/intuit 4D space, despite handling 3D space just fine. There are so, so many things that computers already beat the best humans at, even just creating a digital analogue to the human brain design and essentially refactoring it so it’s not hardwired around human physical limits (the wattage, in particular) would make it better than every human. Or, figuring out what was so special about Einstein and reproducing it. Or just being able to run a physicist’s brain on a GPU, then getting 1 000 000 GPUs and creating the world’s largest para-university of physics.
Edit: i mean, sure, i get your point; AGI will vastly outperform us not only because more hardware but because we have a lot of compromises with our wetware.
But we aren’t on a path that leads there, currently. Not with LLM.

To be clear: Yes, 100%, anyone talking about AGI in the current context is just as deranged as that guy talking about building a dyson sphere within the next 80 years. It’s just not going to happen.
I just don’t want people throwing the baby out with the bathwater and assuming that AGI is impossible just because the current grifters correctly state that AGI is possible.
Submarines can swim underwater, too, just like humans. So if we put a plow on the bridge of a submarine and had it interface with an LLM, we’d basically have a super human.
The difference is that strippers are real. Superhuman AI is still a pipe dream.

There’s also a thing a plow is better at than us.

Nice pin in the balloon, bro.
