Thanks for your comment! I agree that machine learning will change the way how we live. Andrew Ng and several other key people are doing a great job to empower people to understand machine learning. I was also part of his course and he influenced me a lot. However, I don’t agree that a real AGI is coming soon. We’ve come far with the advancement that we have today but researches in this area doesn’t jump exponentially. I would say that our expectations are too high. For example, think about self-driving cars. This has been around for 30yrs. In the earlier 90s, the military already experimented with this but so far we still in an earlier to infant stage. In terms of Elon Musk, he’s warning us about something that might come but in my opinion, it won’t come in our lifetime. That’s like me saying hey we should be prepared for the next meteorite that will wipe out the entire earth;)
