We are not limited by either of those things. Sure, single individuals might be, but we aren't single individuals, we are a group. As a group, most of our advances actually come from individual going out and experimenting and having fun, finding weird things, not from our computation ability. We only need enough computation ability to realize something is weird and explore the world. So what's an AGI going to do? You're going to need a whole lot of units running around collecting data and running experiments, they're going to need to be general purpose, built out a common materials, run pretty efficiently, communicate information between each other, operate in pretty adverse conditions... Humans, you need humans. We aren't the end all be all, but we are pretty darn good at running around doing things and spreading our knowledge between each other, writing it down into books, improving and spreading that knowledge between yourselves. I think we really underestimate how far along the path we are to self-improvement, and we overestimate how quickly at AI could progress down that path. What I think is likely is that AI will be a tool, like any other, and our society will just grow and integrate these AI into itself. I think the real path forward is when we learn how to really start modifying and customizing life to our needs, and that's going to revolutionize humanity in ways that basically makes us unrecognizable to who we are today. And that will be good. In short, the future will be weird, but we're going to be fine.
