Just because that good autocorrect AI or AGI isn't available today doesn't mean that we should dismiss it as something that we don't need to worry about. Because the change to our way of living is so great, we should start making plans, even if it is 10 or 30 years out.

Personally I believe we will see really interesting animal-like AGI demos in 2018 and 2019.

It's just dumb that people can't take this stuff seriously until all of the engineering and research is 100% done.

I'm not dismissing it. On the contrary, I can't wait for brain-machine interfaces. I can't wait for really good self-driving cars. I'm just not as optimistic as many of my colleagues.
I'm waiting for self driving lawyers. And lawn mowers.
My lawyer can drive himself, but it only works with BMWs.
