The singularity is not close. We lack a fundamental element that slams the door on AI to be an idiot savant: capable of answers but uncomprehending, unaware and stupid. Despite theater and marketing insisting otherwise. We have no capability for artificial comprehension. Comprehension is the treatment of logical constructs as virtual entities and operating them within our minds; we do this to evaluate the possibility of concepts, because if concepts cannot operate virtually as we understand them, either we misunderstand them or they cannot exist in reality. Comprehension is treatment of abstract entities (concepts) as on-the-fly virtual machines we operate in our imaginations, constantly juggling to compose an entire synchronized world view. This massive simultaneous simulation and evaluation is constant and defines our every belief and our every action. This is sentience and this is beyond human science.
