Reply to comment by SoylentRox in "Community" Prediction for General A.I continues to drop. by 420BigDawg_

Source on that 8 years number? Would certainly be quite a compelling argument if a random sampling of exclusively well funded AI PhDs had a median prediction of 8 years.

It's just the opinions on the eleuther AI discord. Arguably weak general AI will be here in 1-2 years.

My main point is the members I am referring to all live in Bay Area and work for hugging face and openAI. Their opinion is more valid than say a 60 year old professor in the artificial intelligence department at Carnegie melon.
