I don't think we're done yet with the acceleration of the current AI tech capabilities. In mathematics and programming it might be much easier to specify ground truth feedback for reinforcement learning selfplay leading to superhuman performance like in AlphaZero than in more general reasoning modality or in the creation of scientific models where it takes a long time to verify them in complex experiments. Basically all major AGIs are working on something like that.
