    Not gonna happen, what everyone is calling “AI” isn’t even actually AI, its just a type of predictive text

      A lot of work is already just generating boring text and images

      Not to mention the fact that a lot of people don’t function on a deeper level than that in they daily lives

        Don’t get me wrong, its completely possible that actual AI will come about in that time frame, but what they’re talking about is turning predictive text and image generators into something on par with true sentience, which it is not really something this tech is capable of in my eyes*, the main reason this tech is being called AI is because that makes it much more marketable

        As for a time frame, I have no idea. I personally believe that if TRUE AI is invented, it will either be something that happens on the basis of a new technology that we have not yet discovered, and it will happen overnight, or it will happen accidentally using existing technology in areas we arent looking for it.

        • it occurs to me that by “compete with” they may mean in the job market, which is something this tech can currently do in some fields (poorly), but since it steals the work of actual humans to do so, its not really that the “AI” would be getting better to the point of competing, it would simply be that the people in charge get better at hiding the theft to the point that the content would actually seem original

      Well yes, AI as we know it. What he’s saying that there’s reason to believe certain advancements can be made that would put AI in a place capable of competing with human intelligence.

      AI as we know it now is not what he’s referring to.

      Edit: Also, logically, if we keep things centered on strict circumstances (like performing repetitive tasks) then there are absolutely people who exist that an AI could outperform. That is a simple reality of having limiting disabilities.

      To create AI, you first need to find a way for them to communicate with the user.

      LLMs are just that, the first step.

      The rest will follow. Maybe not in 5 years, but definitely in the near future.

        Reads just like crypto hype. “The killer application is right around the corner! It’s almost here, I swear!”

          You can’t deny the amount of crazy progress in machine learning in the past 3 years. The hype is pretty understandable, far more than crypto ever was.

            And like crypto it eats GPU and electricity more than people seem to understand. It can work 24/7 though, when/if it arrives.
