We can make an educated guess though. What do you think of each of the points I made?

What points did you make? We’re already starting to genetically engineer children even though we haven’t gotten to the intelligence part yet and there’s no clear indication that AGI will happen anytime soon, it’s a completely theoretical technology.

Genetic engineering for anything but avoiding horrible diseases is forbidden as far as I know. I don't know of any trials to engineer smarter children, and don't believe the trials will be publicly permissible.

BCIs are pretty much garbage for making superintelligence and will remain that way for decades at least. The only way they become useful is if we understand the brain very well.
