It's arriving right now. I can speak in plain English to my smartphone (or any other language really, it knows more human languages than I do), cars drive themselves, the world's billionaires are now focused on rapid AI development, etc. There are so many things different this time around that you shouldn't be so pessimistic. "It's different this time" (it actually is though)!
- CmonDev 13y agoI am optimistic, but there were dolls capable of playing musics back in Medieval Age, I feel like e.g. Siri is one of those things.
- appledapple 13y agoThe difference to me is that the dolls capable of playing music were made up of a small set of parts compared to 15 million lines of code for Wolfram Alpha. We are way more sophisticated today.
- CmonDev 13y agoYou chose a bad example. Wolfram Alpha is like 15000 of such dolls. Not an AI in any way though.
- benched 13y agoI had legos when I was a kid. The Burj Khalifa is pretty much just like that.
- CmonDev 13y agoPretty much. It's not like it is 3d-printed, robot-assembled or "grown" in a semi-biological way.
- brianberns 13y agoThese are indeed improvements, but I don't think they qualify as true AI. Software is still nowhere near being able to pass the Turing Test. We still don't have any idea how the human mind works, or how to emulate one digitally.
