How about this, this is a real easy one.
What type of function is this:
There is a theorem that “all smooth functions are locally linear”. In other words, most “normal” functions are indistinguishable from a straight line on the graph if you zoom in far enough.
So that’s not just not an easy one, it is an impossible one.
They’re not saying that slow growth is definitely evidence it’s exponential. They’re saying that slow growth doesn’t prove that it isn’t exponential, which seemed to be what you were saying.
It’s always hard to identify exponential growth in its early stages.

And yet you want me to believe that because “exponential functions can have a slow build up” it is definitely exponental.

Do you accept that if we put together a metric to measure the advancement of AI that it would indicate it is growing over time?
I do not.
See my other response to your pre-edit comment.
Then what are we arguing about?
What exponential growth fundamentally is.
Exponential growth is exponential, we done here?
No, since you still seem to think it’s the same as linear
What is this graphic exponential or linear
Looks exponential to me
