Strong AI is not something that almost anyone can do intentionally, given that it's currently impossible. And any predictions on it becoming possible within a definite timeframe are total bullshit [1]. I think it's rather telling that the only people who make those kinds of optimistic predictions about neural networks do not have extensive research experience in / are experts in artificial neural networks. [1] I certainly think it will become possible, but the timeframe is indefinite. If we get really lucky and breakthrough after breakthrough is achieved, it could be within 10 years. But it could be 20 years, it could be 100 years.
