Reply to Which communities have you found where people are both smart about what AI is and isn't currently capable of, but where everyone in there is convinced we'll have AI soon that's smarter than 95% of humans at all computer based tasks within a few years? by TikkunCreation

It's mostly because you won't find anyone of reasonable intelligence who falls for the BS.

There's a certain level of intelligence that enters the "quantum mechanics" level of emulation, which in the practical sense, cannot be applied to practical utility in any sense of the word. There are countless papers about consciousness, reality, and an insane amount of metaphysical concepts all crammed into one list. It's the same as teaching science fiction as fact, when we have no reality to base it on.

There is a large gap between what is metaphysical, and what is realistic in this industry. The people who follow the reality of what is happening, are following the works of those scientists who create the work, not the ones who are constantly doomsaying about the outcome of the work without understanding it.

If you follow those pragmatic men and women, you may find the answers you're interested in. This entire industry is full of liars, scam artists, shams, snake oil salesmen, and everything between the lines.

If you find a group of reasonably intelligent and competent pragmatic scientists who are basing their work off the engineering aspects of what they're building, you'll find a group of men and women who just want to keep building. There's a deep passion to develop systems like this in the hopes to someday reach the singularity.

The ultimate goal is to provide every human the ability to intuitively know calculus, trig, deep psychological complexities, philosophy, sciences, art, and everything else that any human could desire to have access to knowledge-wise.
