On the grand scale we are definitely on an acceleration technological curve. And by that I mean humanity and all technology not constrained to only AI. AI might hit some walls, there may be a lot of hype at the moment, but it has already br

I don't disagree. However, those who believe we are still on the accelerating curve also believe that somehow we will remain relevant. It doesn't make logical sense. So, the only counter to my argument is that we hit a wall. This

Seems many have no concept of exponential growth as this is the correct answer. The goal of everyone building AI is to reach AGI, if that is achievable, there is no last 10% or 1%.

Because although AI systems are currently still "hallucinating" incorrect facts in their answers, they are already delivering remarkable results in tasks such as translation, classification, creative writing and generating code.

In the event you are curious later, one of the problems with this is what I call the AI Bias Paradox. Essentially asserts that the AI will always be biased similarly as we are biased. Just some thoughts here you might find interesting. htt
