&gt; AI taking over the earth is always a decade away.<p>I can&#x27;t say I&#x27;ve seen that said. Any sources? Most predictions I&#x27;ve seen for AI surpassing human intelligence are for mid 21st century. The reasoning isn&#x27;t rocket science. I wrote an essay about it for some school exam 34 years ago. If you discount the religious stuff then brains are biological computers of roughly fixed ability and regular computers are less able but get better each year. If so, they&#x27;ll overtake and you can kind of graph it and make a rough estimate of when.
