AI's powering themselves isn't the objection. Exponential increase in capability is. And that requires you to deal with things like heat dissipation, which are real problems for our current "dumb" computers.

It's not a huge problem for humans. I see no reason to think that a computer say, 10x as powerful as a human would have major problems with heat dissipation.
