It's equally, if not more, utopian to assume that progress down any one route will automatically lead to the imagined pinnacle of the entire discipline. Progress isn't smooth or automatic, and we often hit dead ends, having to try new techniques to get over plateaus.
It's equivalent to looking at 19th Century automobiles and asserting that they'll be able to travel to other stars by the end of the decade.
- TulliusCicero 4y ago> It's equivalent to looking at 19th Century automobiles and asserting that they'll be able to travel to other stars by the end of the decade. That's not actually equivalent at all. Looking at improvements to automobiles would mean them going faster, being more reliable, etc. Space is obviously a different domain. Your analogy is like if people were suggesting that AI image generation models were going to become advanced enough to start driving cars or folding your laundry.
