Personally, I think this has very little to do with computing power and more to do with sensorial experience and replicating how the human brain interacts with the environment. It's not about being able to do calculations very fast, but about what do those calculations do and how are they conditioned, what stimuli are the ones that cause them to evolve, in which way and by how much.
The real problem is that to think like a human you need to see like a human, touch like a human, have instincts of a human, the needs of a human and the limitations of a human. From babies we learn from things by touching, sucking, observing, experimenting, moved by instincts such as wanting food, wanting companionship, wanting approval from our family... all the things that ultimatelly motivate us. A human AI would make mistakes just like we do, because that's how our brain works. It might just be little more than a toddler and it could still be a human-like AI.
I completely agree with this. Brains basically evolved to create an efficient simulation of the physical environment that we exist in. Any AI that would have human style consciousness needs to have embodiment either in a physical or a virtual environment. If we evolve AI agents in a physical environment and they learn to interact with it meaningfully, then we could teach them language and communicate with them in a meaningful way because we'll have a shared context.
