No sane person believed that deep learning would get us to AGI withing the next few decades. Anyone saying so is doing it to fool VCs out of their money.

- short_sells_poo 5y agoI'd like to agree with you but just 1 year ago every AI related thread here were chock full of people breathlessly predicting AGI within years... and presumably HN is a well informed community! It's often not about expertise or sanity, but AGI captures people's imagination to a huge extent and as evolution has conditioned us to do, we ascribe certain behaviors and desires to systems which only exhibit those by random chance.
- m_ke 5y agoSorry to break it to you but most of HN is not well informed. Look for some threads in your area of expertise for proof of that. Only people selling AGI are marketers and futurists.
