AI developers are like the modern version of alchemists. If they can just turn this lead into gold, this one simple task, they'll be rich and powerful for the rest of their lives!
Transmutation isn't really possible, not the way they were trying to do it. Perhaps AI isn't possible the way we're trying to do it now, but I doubt that will stop many people from trying. And I do expect that it will be possible somehow, we'll likely get there someday, just not soon.
