Ain't no way we're seeing real AI/AGI in our lifetime.

As an undergraduate I always wondered - why the hell don't we start by trying to recreate basic artificial life? Our brains, the most complex organs on the planet Earth , are the result of billions of years of evolution. But as humans, we have the hubris to be like "Yeah, I can build that on some GPUs"

Instead, we get auto-complete with bells and whistles, that fools lay people by being branded as artificial "intelligence." Tech bros impress their hedge fund investors at cocktail parties by claiming this and that about what kind of breakthroughs their company has made and what is in the near horizon. It's all bogus. We don't even have a full comprehension of how our brains work, yet we're trying to recreate it with circuitry and algorithms.

The scene: 20 years from now. Tech conference. "We have done it - we have created the first true AGI. Let us introduce: Chad."

And it's just some average intelligence guy. Turns out we were smarter than AI the whole time.

we'll have Chad and Stacy in our lifetime for sure. feels like there isn't actually a lot going on up there to emulate

creating something that creates on par / better than our greatest minds, yeah i'm with ya on that, ain't happening in the fields of art or hard sciences

but a scaled up fancy auto complete will be/is better than the vast majority of us, myself obviously included at like 98+% of tasks that actually matter
