I don’t think this analogy is helpful. If an IQ 110 AI can research 10^6 person-hours for each IQ 110 person-hour, the results are going to look like a qualitative difference (i.e., higher IQ). That said, I do think that some problem spaces require ‘true’ IQ advances to address - insight vs. bruteforce.
