It’s not a hope to expect machines to match or exceed the human level of intelligence, because we demonstrate human level intelligent machines by virtue of existence, and the physical limits of computation far exceed those of our specific biology. AKA, we know it’s possible for atomic systems to be as intelligent as we are, because we are. We suspect the limit is far beyond us because computers have dramatically faster processing, essentially perfect memory systems, etc
