>>10887906>>10887716AI is a guarantee given enough time, but so is just about everything. However, there are still many many things we do not understand fully about this universe, and probably many more that ARE impossible in this reality.
However, AI is likely to be no mean feat. I find it far more likely that we first manage to augment ourselves and our own intelligence before we can readily produce AI. Unless there's a chance that one can produce itself through self-learning, and even then, how much can it do? How many limitations are there on it based on the hardware it found itself created on? How likely is it that we ignore/overlook something almost everyone acknowledges as (potentially) dangerous, and allow it to run rampant over us?
It's very likely that true AI is a technology many centuries off, and that by then we'll have found ways of using it. It is unlikely that AI is such a jump as what you see in novels like Hyperion. There are many fantastic youtube channels that go over this, like PBS spacetime, Isaac Arthur, and others.
