Yes, but in the same way that tax shelters and carbon offsetting are major industries. All the useful things done by “AI” tend to happen outside of the hype mills and be relatively boring statistical models like autocomplete, which nobody points to as a sign of the coming Computer God.

They build single-use computers into pregnancy tests. They’re powerful enough to run DOOM, despite being doomed to immediately become e-waste. Is this a sign of the imminent Singularity as well?
| PCs would be able to answer questions wirelessly (search engines and the internet)
Someone built a radio into a computer? Really? I wonder why nobody thought of that before.
Not the same way, we’re making pretty great strides using AI to analyze animal speech(what I’m excited about), Data analysis, predictive modeling, material science, sequencing genomes, tons of practical use for ai
There are bad actors, but there’s a lot of benefits to AI.
I don’t think it matters why other people didn’t make these projections first, but it’s pretty cool that kurzweil did.
Hopefully those NFTs you have undoubtedly been HODLing will have gone to the moon by then, enabling you to buy your direct-neutral dog translator on day 1

Pppffff you’re a crypto “doubter” too?
A 6000% increase in the last ten years, mass adoption and 60 something countries trying to develop digital national currencies?
Let me know when my other investments “fail” like that.
On a more serious note, I too hope to be able to afford an animal translator, but I’m looking to talk to whales and porpoises rather than dogs.
