The technological struggles are in some ways beside the point. The financial bet on artificial general intelligence is so big that failure could cause a depression.

      That’s just false. The chess opponent on Atari qualifies as AI.

      I don’t know man… the “intelligence” that silicon valley has been pushing on us these last few years feels very artificial to me

        True. OP should have specified whether they meant the machines or the execs.

      AI has been a thing since 1956.

      If you don’t know what CSAIL is, and why one of the most important groups to modern computing is the MIT Model Railroading Club, then you should step back from having an opinion on this.

      Steven Levy’s 1984 book “Hackers” is a good starting point.
