AI is overhyped and unreliable -Goldman Sachs

“Despite its expensive price tag, the technology is nowhere near where it needs to be in order to be useful for even such basic tasks”
Those people were talking about the kind of AI we see in sci-fi, not the spellchecker-on-steroids we have today. There used to be a distinction, but marketing has muddied those waters. The sci-fi variety has been rebranded “AGI” so I guess the rest of that talk would go right along with it - the ‘AGI singularity’ and such.
All still theoretically possible, but I imagine climate will take us out or we’ll find some clever new way to make ourselves extinct before real AI …or AGI… becomes a thing.
