Not gonna happen, what everyone is calling "AI" isn't even actually AI, its just a type of predictive text
Do you think more advanced AI could come along? If so, what is your timeline prediction and why?
Don't get me wrong, its completely possible that actual AI will come about in that time frame, but what they're talking about is turning predictive text and image generators into something on par with true sentience, which it is not really something this tech is capable of in my eyes*, the main reason this tech is being called AI is because that makes it much more marketable
As for a time frame, I have no idea. I personally believe that if TRUE AI is invented, it will either be something that happens on the basis of a new technology that we have not yet discovered, and it will happen overnight, or it will happen accidentally using existing technology in areas we arent looking for it.
