Yes, this is the difference between our views.
I think we will have a human-equivalent-intelligence AI at least a few years
before we have a master-of-AI-and-computer-science AI that can launch the
hard takeoff.
Just as I myself was a human-equivalent intelligence well before I became a
master of AI and computer science myself ;)
