Sorry, what I meant was that I'm sceptical AI can achieve what people are saying it will achieve. I think there will be a realisation that the impact would be significant enough to mention, but nowhere near as revolutionary as tech CEOs are trying to sell it as.
Honestly, it's difficult to say where plateau is right now. We simply don't know what the impact will be because we're still actively developing and learning to apply this tech. I do agree we are currently in a bubble, but it's worth remembering that when internet started becoming popular there was a similar bubble, but the underlying tech did prove to be transformative.
All that said, I really don't think his predictions about AI are what's relevant. It's the acknowledgement that capitalism is not a productive way to harness automation that's his real insight here. It's valuable to see prominent people like Hinton say this loud and clear.
