I get the reasoning of "general intelligence exists in humans, therefore it must be possible to create it". But this logic really applies to human artifacts and creations. ie, if a human builds a device that can do X then another human can also build a device that does X. There is no magic. No one is special. Anything one person can create or do, no matter how rare, can be done by another person at some point. General intelligence was not created by a human, or by any other intelligent being or process. It's one result of billions of years of random chance in the form of biological evolution. It could be that there are basic and comprehensible principles driving that process. Or it could be the result of a tweleve digit number of random coin flips. There's no way to know. When I think of this as, "Will humans ever be able to replicate or mimic the result of planet wide randomness at an unimaginable time scale?" my answer is "No, probably not". Our minds can't conceive the scope of the process that created our minds. There are many things that we are capable of groking as a species (green tech, space travel, medicine) that seem much more important.
