This person doesn't understand the concept of super AI. Of course intelligence is not one dimensional. But the current limit in pretty much all of those dimensions is physical: It's the larger amount of neurons and connections we could fit in the smallest space that can pass through the pelvis while still feeding enough energy to the brain.

You can imagine this as a bunch of people that speaks with each other. The faster they can communicate ideas with each other, the more potentially intelligent the group can be. Machines can surpass the speed of this collective intelligence by orders of magnitude, even if everything else is exactly as a human. This is exactly the reason we evolved to have so many brain resources for language.
