The “godfather” of AI thinks it may be within 5 years. You know something he doesn’t?

I know in a few months his estimate will drop in 1/2.

I didn’t watch the video, so I don’t know what he said. But computers today don’t have desires and don’t understand what they’re doing. I don’t see that changing in the foreseeable future.

That’s dangerous thinking. I’m assuming it happens soon.

If you can develop a measurable prediction, I might be willing to bet. I gather you think that something like Lt. Cmdr. Data is going to exist in less than three years?

I don’t think anything, I don’t know. Nobody knows. Most predictions people make are off, but there is a possibility of them going the other direction and coming sooner than later.

I was responding to #[2]​, who said he assumed computers would have desires and understanding soon, and thought the “father of AI” would revise the time limit of his prediction to 2.5 years in a few months.

Noticed afterwards 😉. Sometimes it looks like a person is replying to me.
