I studied AI at university about 20ish years ago. In terms of what we have today it's was already there and had been around already for decades. All that's happened are minor refinements over the years. Most of the refinements have been brought about by the insane pace of h/w development not by anything really breakthrough when it comes to AI. In terms of AGI there was nothing even close back then so I suspect we will never see anything in our lifetimes. In reality for us that's all that matters. I know some want to talk about what will happen in say 200+ years but that's complete speculation and wild guess territory there are so many other things that could happen in 200+ years that think about AGI and these sort of breakthrough technologies isn't helpful. FYI this saddens me as I really thought that by now we'd have some kind of AGI and when I went to uni I was hopeful and excited at first.
