Go back to 1950, you will still find arguments that we are a few years away from general purpose AI. The arguments have not really changed.

- tim333 10y agoDepends who's arguments you look at. The Kurzweil arguments have always been turing test 2029, singularity 2045. So say general purpose AI about 2030. So it was 80 years in the future in 1950, 14 years now and so on for other dates. It depends a bit on the definitions you use but around then.
- cscurmudgeon 10y agoI prefer not listening to techno astrologers, and Kurweil is one. By and large the more one contributes to AI, the less one is an techno astrologer. Kurweil's contribution to AI pales in comparison to the likes of Norvig etc.
