Clickbait headline but interesting article. Personally I believe that the actual conflict with AI implied by the headline will probably be real within not too many decades. I don't know how many but I will be surprised if it's more than a few hundred years. Actually at this rate it looks like less than forty years before we see autonomous digital human-like persons walking around that have ten times or more intelligence than un-augmented humans. Which I think it will be very unwise to do that, but someone will anyway. You just have to look at what the latest LLMs can do, then see how much potential there is in the multimodal transformer models for significantly better and more general world understanding. Look at the development of new types of compute-in-memory with huge increases in efficiency and performance for AI. And there is a great interest in all of the things that make us creature-like such as survival instincts and autonomy. Which again, bad idea but nothing is going to stop that research from accelerating.
