the final shape of AI is invariant of any contingencies

Ah, cool. Yes, this is definitely a point of disagreement.

For my own part, I think real intelligence is necessarily contingent. That is, different minds will respond differently to the same inputs, and this is true regardless of "how intelligent" those minds are. There is no single ideal mind that every mind converges on as its "final" or "fully grown" stage.
