Why would it? At the moment we can't even emulate a fly at the AGI level. So our AGI now is "much slower" than 1 human, never mind "7 billion human brains put together".
And it doesn't "self improve" at all.
We might never be able to emulate a human brain good enough with our technology and resources. Including tomorrow's technology, either for the same reason we will never get 0.1 nanometer chips or sub-zero roundtrip latency around the earth: the laws of physics, or for the reason that it's too complex (and there's no signed contract with the universe that humans will eventually be able to handle any complexity level in their technology. We might hit several hard problems where we don't have better ideas, or better concepts/inventions are far beyond our grasp).
