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
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.
Did you pay attention to human “intelligence” lately? I think we are already there.
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.
