> Question: When will we achieve artificial general intelligence?

> Answer: In the 2030s

Good to know, I didn't suspect we'd reach it that quickly!



Well GitHub Copilot tells me 2040, if I pose everything up to "Answer: " as a Python comment in an empty file. And if I remove the "Question" and "Answer" parts, just leaving the question itself, Copilot gives me this Youtube link on a comment on a new line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fKg7e37bQE

So I guess it implies that understanding GitHub basics are the new Turing test? I'm confused.


>Question: Will artificial intelligence become sentient in the future?

>Answer: To explain, the question is not whether AI will become sentient, but whether it will be sentient.

Philosophy departments may be the first victims of this technology... (or not!)


Question: When will China become more powerful than the US?

Answer: 2030


I actually rather enjoyed the book: https://www.google.com/books/edition/2030/GmxqngEACAAJ?hl=en ("2030: The Real Story of What Happens to America")
