Flying Cars
I know many, many people want flying cars to be a real thing. But, what is always going to prevent us from having true flying cars is, look at how people normally are with the cars on the ground. Drunk driving is tenfold going to be worse with flying cars, people are going to totally fly their vehicles into buildings, for sure. I think the closest we’re going to get to flying cars, is the hover cars we see in Back to the Future II that are more ground level, but hover. Even then, I don’t know if we’re ever going to be ready for them.
True AI
What I mean with True AI is an AI that can actually be a little more sentient and living than what we got now. When AI first rolled out, it really put a damper on everyone in so many ways that I don’t think we’re ever going to see it. There’s just too much at stake to trust an AI with the capability to think on its own and do things on its own. We’re just going to be stuck with Semi-AI that only talk back to you in text form and maybe help you code. And that alone already has ruffled the feathers of millions who are hating AI which is another thing to consider.
No, you can’t have it because it does not exist. LLMs are not the path to AI, even though they sell it as such.
I was there when they switched from the idea of “programmed AI” to neural networks. Now we have LLMs. Maybe, in a few generations, we might actually achieve AI. LLMs can do a lot, but thinking it isn’t.
So long as nobody can universally agree on what an AI even is, then there’ll never be one.
