According to Translated's metric of "Time-To-Edit", the time required by the world’s highest-performing professional translators to check and correct machine translations, machines are approaching human-levels of understanding and translating language faster than previously thought.
Understanding human languages has been the biggest barrier to machine intelligence. In the past few years, machines have been getting better at translating languages, meaning that the "decades away" time frame of the singularity is now only "a few years away".
Scientists still can't define exactly when or how they'll know the singularity has arrived. In the meantime, better get your shrines to Skynet, SHODAN, or whatever AI you're expecting ready.

I'm not worried, they'll kill me last. I'm not taking questions.

I doubt they'll expect us to worship them.

This feels like more futurist nonsense. AI art is just noise reduction, chatbots have been the same for decades just more complex...

Any idea that AI will help everyone silly. The ones who own the massive computing power and datasets use it for their own means. Not ours.

Let me go on record here and now: Roko's Basilisk can eat a Costco-sized bag of dicks
