#2Alan Kay said "A change in perspective is worth 80 IQ points,".
A change in perspective is often brought about by communication or I/O. In my experience this often bears out. The people who communicate get more done than the clever person who doesn't get out into the problem domain. The limit is I/O not intelligence.

#3In my work, I have always found that the main "blocker" (I hesitate to use the term "bottleneck"), is human nature.
If we design stuff to be used by humans (what I generally do), then it's imperative to take basic human nature into account, and that can be incredibly annoying.
Annoying, or not, human nature is a major factor, and won't go away, no matter how many times we tap our heels together. I think it was Philip K. Dick that said "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away."
Designing stuff for processes and machines to consume, is pretty straightforward. Designing stuff for humans, however, is really challenging (which is one of the reasons that I like doing it).

The systems will reflect the cultures communication structure for better or worse. =3

#5I think the next bottleneck is embodiment. AI can lay the best laid plans, but who will execute it?
I think a possible solution to the dual problems of AI embodiment and unemployment is humans becoming avatars for AI. Imagine one of the unskilled masses donning a headset and being guided through all manner of work?
Roofing, ACHVAC, stocking shelves, etc…
No need to train anybody.

I would go further and say that the human should be the bottleneck/blocker. If not designed for and to serve humans, which means to have human in the position of power and control and take in account all the various human oddities, why are we building all of this?

"Solution" seems rather euphemistic for making people literal slaves of AI.

#8Ingenuity is the actual bottleneck. And AI so far hasn’t shown any

Not of AI, of the owners and steerers of the AI systems.
