All google is, is a manifestation of the power of the humans that built it
No. If you take that approach then you’ll just be saying that about every GAI, no matter how powerful. Google engineers can not solve the problems that google solves. They can’t even hold the problem (which includes links between millions of websites) in their heads. They CAN hold in their heads the problem of creating something that can solve the problem. Within google’s domain, humans aren’t even players.
Even allowing a human the time and notepaper and procedural knowledge to do what google does, that’s not a human solving the same problem, that’s a human implementing the abstract computation that is google.
Human can and do generate optimization process that are more powerful than themselves.
This may seem more harsh than I intend:
I see your proposed law as just a privileged hypothesis, without any evidence, defending the notion that humans must somehow be special.
