You have no rational basis for that 3 - 5 year estimate. That's just picking numbers out of the air.

The basis is the complexity growth trend that we have already observed in computing (and most other human endeavors)

  • There is zero evidence that progress toward AGI follows Moore's Law. And we observe much slower complexity growth in most other human endeavors.

    • But there's a lot of evidence that computer power follows Moore's law. All that matters is that the growth is exponential.

      Evolution took a billion years to evolve multi-cellular life, but the jump from apes to humans took far less than a million years.
