Wow this is a really good reply. Thanks for taking the time to write all of this! I think I agree with pretty much all that you have said here actually, this is one of the better and more accurate descriptions of the current state of things that I have read in general! As far as the magic thing goes, I was replying to this specifically, and other similar statements made in other parts of the thread and even in the original post (the blog post or whatever you call it) itself, and even more so in the media: >But it wasn't designed. It's not a computer program, where one can make confident predictions about its limitations based on the source code. There have been media headlines about the potential for modern AIs to turn evil and destroy the human race sci-fi movie style. I think people who believe this do believe that current AI is "magic" in some sense but I'm not totally sure how to pin down exactly how.
