These arguments about AGI all seem to overlook that our computational model is still very Turing-constrained. It's a clock-based, sequential model where each calculation is taken linearly in time. Even with multi-core and distributed computing, you're still bottlenecked by the final integration step (two cores sharing the result of their calculation). There is no central place in our brains where thoughts begin and end. A CPU's clock and ALU are simple not analogous to the human mind. As far as we know, human intelligence is a constant, dynamic interaction between all neurons in our brains, any one of which is capable of originating a signal. I personally think we will develop AGI, but with a different computational model. I don't know enough about quantum computing to even comment on it, but I do have a background in medicine (MD) and computer science (MSCS).
