As conscious subjects, we are extremely biased to believe that we owe our capabilities and our understanding of the world to our own individual intelligence. When in fact, we can do very little and we know very little on our own. It's collective intelligence all the way.

If all you knew of humanity were a few kids from a hunter-gatherer tribe 100,000 years ago, would you still want to build human-level AI? An ant colony might start to look like it would be a lot better at optimization.

The point is we people are limited in that way but a sophisticated AI would have all of the civilizational knowledge at a super expert level.

Collective intelligence of 2 kg of an ant colony does not surpass that of a human brain..

Ah, (collective-)human-level intelligence is a moving target! The more culture we create, the higher the ceiling, the more room there is for the intelligence of culture “clients”, human or artificial.

What they mean is a self-correcting ever amassing conglomerate of knowledge that is gathered by a highly intricate network of ontological/phenomenological machines. Without consciousness, "human-level" AI is not possible.
