I'm not even sure ASI would be around the corner though I understand the argument. I guess the question for me is how much more computing power would an ASI require over an AGI? If it's not much, then sure, it would be right around the corner. If it's orders of magnitude more, then it will take a while. I think there may be some physical constraints that limit the speed at which that happens.

The thing is, with AGI it can solve problems it wasn't trained on and becomes more human-like in that it can adapt to any problem thrown at it. With the raw processing power of endless computing, it can perform far better and faster than humans (although not smarter, that's when it turns into ASI). In other words, it can play out more scenarios faster than we can.
