Except that the technology itself can be used to create technology. That's the whole point. If we were talking about raw human creativity, we already surpassed that capability a long time ago. And it seems likely that we can get the technology to a place where it can improve itself with little enough human effort that growth can be kept up for longer than any of our life times.
