I think it’s impossible because I don’t think you can leapfrog evolution, and there’s almost definitely hidden context essential to our intelligence and perception that you can only get through a very very long history.

However I do think it’s quite possible and likely that we’ll create mimics that convince most people they’re intelligent. But I think that’s a weird type of reflection/anything we can make is limited to mirroring our observable past and existing collective thought and can never be truly introspective, because true introspection requires evolutionary context and hidden motivation you can’t transfer.
