AGI will happen eventually, but you're right. Even matching a fly is years away.
At best, we can approximate certain parts of it, ie, GPT3.
A quick Google says the human brain has about 86 billion neurons, each with up to 7,000 connections, with an adult having between 100 trillion and 500 trillion synapses [0]. Meanwhile, the commercial CPU with the most transistors is an Apple Duel-Die Ultra M1 with about 114 billion transistors [1]. If you equate 1 synapse with 1 transistor (Probably not a great metaphor), you'd need 1,000 CPUs to match a human brain, and the CPU could win out because of how quickly a CPU can "tick". Neurons typically only fire up to 200 times per second, whereas a CPU could do billions if the heat can be expelled.
