Everyone should watch this to understand how far we've come in so little time.

I try to put myself in the mindset of someone at that time seeing a computer that takes up an entire wall, with the announcer in the background saying "Something like this could do your taxes one day".

Would I believe it? Then I think of the claims people are making today about AI, and try to take them more seriously.
