You have to look at all pieces of the puzzle. For example there were tons of people that said "they could never solve novel or super complex math problems"
The issue I see is the list of abilities that AI can't do is shrinking at a rapid pace, and its capabilities are growing at the same pace.

This seems great!
Can you share what makes you so optimistic?
The maths result is cool on one hand (discovering truths of the universe faster), but on the other there are so many bad outcomes that seem likely, from power concentration to loss of control.
There are bad outcomes possible in everything.
I think AI - like all changes - will lead to some bad things. The internet did too!
But I don't think AI will kill us all.
Interestingly I'd note that the two outcomes you listed (power concentration and loss of control) are dimensionally opposites!
For me this just shows that the future contains such a vast array of possible outcomes that focus on the negatives completely missed the positive outcomes that future also holds.
