That entire reply is a great example of "vague connections to AGI". I hope this AI hype cycle ends soon and funding gets diverted from tech to actual science in the medical field. But I guess that's unlikely. I see no obvious evidence for AI/ML etc to be less of a speculation hype than the already deflating self-driving car hype. I don't doubt that ML will have its practical application given the amount of effort that is currently put in to it, but I do think it is wildly inflated. Not to mention that the spectrum of what kinds of software that counts as AI seem to get wider for every week. That the AI hype is more or less entirely confined within an already hyped tech industry doesn't seem to me like a coincidence. An AI revolution hellbent on figuring out how intelligence works would surely include other fields than just tech?
