Yep. Theory suggests AGI should be possible, and there's good reason to think it would change everything. It just harder to tell when it will arrive, and how.

The thing currently called "AI" is much more limited in scope, and kinda is overhyped. It's smart but impossible to align with any specific external goal.

my prediction is that the existing AI products won't stop but the trend of adding AI into everything will stop. There's a cool Wikipedia page about the repeated ups and downs of AI hype cycles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter
