The difference is that AI could speed up its evolutionary rate and not have the same constraints as living organisms.
If you can multiply rapidly and self-organize, you can outcompete humanity.

- runnerup 4y agoAt historical rates of power-efficiency scaling (which haven't changed much in the past 10 years either) ... by 2040 we'll have the currently estimated computational power of a human brain (~1 exaflop) running on a 20Watt processor, which is about as much as an iPhone CPU uses. It's not guaranteed that some AI supercomputer will be using megawatts of electricity and couldn't siphon what it needs from small parasitic loads.

This is like software startups trying to get into hardware, it suddenyl becomes incredibly difficult because you need to actually interact with the world. You can iterate an incredible number of times with your software model in a blink of my eye, but that's not going to help you if the hydro-electric damn that you didn't know about suddenly goes offline.
