Error free machine translation is hardly the singularity.

• AnimalMuppet 4y ago
  Wish I had more than one upvote to give this comment. Error-free translation isn't even AGI, and AGI isn't the singularity. The singularity is an exponentially self-improving AGI. Will we have error-free translation by 2030 (or at least better than human)? Maybe. Will we have AGI? Highly unlikely. Will we have the sigularity? Absolutely not.

    Of course, the singularity won't come until the year afterwards when (extrapolating the trendline from the article one year further) it will take negative time to correct AI translations. With this newfound ability to generate free time for the world's best AI researchers by having them proof-read AI-generated translations, we will unlock rapid exponential growth in AI research.

    > The singularity is an exponentially self-improving AGI. I'd settle for self-improving AGI. Then let the AGI eventually figure out how to do so exponentially.

    It's laughable but interesting too when people predict with certainty emerging exponential technologies. Even the best minds have done this huge mistake like you. Absolutely not he said...
