Yes, you are right. Afterall all the AI needs is huge amounts of data and we generate enough of that as it is, every minute of everyday. Our only saviour as people like Ray Kurtzweil and Elon Musk posit is a situation where we are able to merge our biological and technological intelligence into one such that we are part of it and it is part of us. In that case, we would be learning as fast as the machines and even have a headstart because we were here first. Just like I said in the article:

We would have reached a point where we can combine our biological intelligence with technological intelligence and be able to learn and innovate much faster than we do today: we would be Superintelligent!
