The law of deminishing returns and AI

A worrying thought.
As you can see initially the exponential power of chips resulted in far better detail. However, once you cross a certain point the exponential gains of chips are crushed by the law of deminishing returns.
This reveals an insight of how the brain works and processes information.
Perhaps other neurological processes are equally subject to the law of deminishing returns when emulated.
There is a lot of optimism in AI at the moment due to recent advances. But what if we're just going though the initial stage of exponential growth? only to find when we get to the nitty gritty detail of AI we face a brickwall of deminishing returns.

Re: The law of deminishing returns and AI
A key thing to keep in mind is that the law of diminishing returns applies to one given technology:
quote: If you plot the complexity of a given technology
However, AI development is not one technology. It keeps changing. This graph shows how repeated application of the law of diminishing returns culminates in continued growth:
