> In practice it's a recipe for spending large amounts of money on GPU cloud compute to achieve things that could have been done just fine with more traditional methods.

There are no traditional methods that as convincingly write poetry, sing songs, animate movies, or synthesize search results. You should be able to lament the hype, while still acknowledging this truth.

> Computer Science is the science of studying what can be computed, what is the complexity of those algorithms, what are the limits of our logic and mathematical models.

Computer science is too limited to properly decide the matter.

We know for a FACT that physics allows human level cognition (obviously, since we exist). Therefore, all that is required is for us to understand and harness those rules of physics, and we can manufacture devices that match or exceed human level cognition.

Given enough time, there is no logical reason we can't achieve this result. People who continue to insist that it is logically impossible, are short-sighted, and blinded by human vanity.
