Your argument is basically "some science-fiction has sometimes turned out to be true." That doesn't counter the fact that this is just speculation.

- pixl97 10y agoUm, pretty much, no. Science fiction turns out to be true when physical reality agrees that it can be true. This again, is why we have a global communications network and personal wireless devices connected to it. This is also the reason we do not go faster than light. The reason we don't have flying cars is they are completely possible. They are also terribly dangerous and expensive and a complete waste of energy. The reason we don't have AGI is not that it is impossible, again if nature can create it, we can recreate it. Since we don't have a good understanding of the networked nature of emergent intelligence we cannot create a power optimized network that would allow us to create a energy efficient version. AGI itself is a complete waste of energy at this point. We already have many types of AI that are energy efficient and used in products now.
- argonaut 10y ago> Science fiction turns out to be true when physical reality agrees that it can be true This is a ridiculous argument. Furthermore, even if it were true, it tells us nothing about the timeline. It could take 10,000 years for all we know.
