What do you think about reaching AGI? (en.m.wikipedia.org)

It seems like a lot of professionals are thinking we will reach AGI within my lifetime. Some credible sources say within 5 years but who knows.

Either way I suspect it is inevitable. Who knows what may follow. Infinite wealth gap growth, mass job loss, post-work reforms, I'm not sure.

A bunch of questions bounce around in my head, examples may be:

  • Will private property rights be honored in said future?
  • Could Amish communities still exist?
  • Is it something we can prepare for as individuals?

I figured it is important to talk about seeing as it will likely occur in my lifetime and many of yours.

We are a LOT farther away than 5 years. What you see right now is a lot of hype from venture capitalists over chatbots.

I think any real AGI will have to have some kind of reasoning ability, and I don't see any sign of that in current AI.

    Certainly, some interesting developments have happened, and we've realized our old models/thinking about progress towards AGI needed improvement.. and that's real. I think there's a serious conversation to be had about what AGI would be, and how we can know we're approaching it, and when it has arrived.

    But anybody telling you it is close either has something to sell you, or has themselves bought it.
