Magic or god. I’m at a point that if I can replace AI with magic/god in a phrase I know it’s bullshit.

The real test is to replace AI with "humanity, given 1000 years". If the statement is reasonable after replacement then it is possible. If it still sounds unlikely then it merits deeper inspection. Will humanity cure cancer given 1000 of study and medical development? It's quite possible, and AI will probably help. So it's not unreasonable to claim that AI can cure cancer (eventually).

> humanity, given 1000 years

The problem is that this makes almost anything sound reasonable, besides things that violate the laws of physics.

I don't think that thinking this far out is anything but pure speculation. Whether the mechanism is human intelligence, AI, or magic.

Chess AI is pretty much chess god
