Reply to comment by kmtrp in AI timelines: What do experts in artificial intelligence expect for the future? by kmtrp

No, you just picked a random date 2060 as a cutoff because it was the 50% mark. On the whole, the vast majority (> 90%) predicted a date that is farther in the future than what the consensus on this sub is.

Honestly an argument for us not being batshit crazy. 10% of scientists & well-informed people is a whole lot better than 0%

I picked it precisely because it's the 50% mark, how is that random?

My point is that you made a completely vacuous statement. Take any set of data, pick the median and say “durrr I guess 50% of the people know something the other 50% don’t.” It means literally nothing.

I didn't make a spontaneous statement, indeed it would've been nonsensical. It was a reply to your "It's almost like they know there are a lot of unsolved problems" implying that excited people here don't take those into account, no? But according to the poll, if you were right, half of that same set of experts wouldn't take those into account either, arbitrarily deciding that the experts voting for >2061AGI simply "know how it actually works" ; which I assume it coincidentally lines up with your beliefs. I'm sure you believe you "know how it actually works" too, yes?

edit: to be clearer, it's an idiotic response on purpose to highlight your idiotic comment, as in no true scotmman fallacy.

Wtf are you talking about. I was comparing he results of the survey to the opinions on THIS sub, which are largely ASI before 2040 (check the survey posts if you don’t believe me). You are the one that fixated on 2060, which as I said is a meaningless divide in the data.

I know that's what you are comparing to, I wrote it in the comment you just replied to mate. You didn't understand it I think, but it's not important. Happy new year.
