Is the AI Bubble About to Burst?
I have been meaning to write a follow-up to my post about AGI with a second part. My intention was to document some examples of prominent people saying or strongly implying that AGI is imminent, to convince myself and my imagined readers that this view is pervasive. For example, here is AI researcher Geoffrey Hinton, often called the "Godfather of AI", speculating about AGI while veiling this as disinterested scientific analysis. Here is the co-founder of Anthropic speaking matter-of-factly about creating human-level AI. However, I've also started to wonder if we've hit peak AI hype, and I am going to write about that instead.
