Inflated fifteen to one hundred times, and promised at least five fold earlier than they actually arrived. If you hear that some technology will transform the world in 5 years, plan on waiting 25, like the PC.
I think the current enthusiasm for AI is largely driven by the near-term availability of hardware capable of emulating brain-sized complexity. For the first time, researchers will be able to casually train multiple adaptive behaviors that require a few thousand neurons each, and assemble them into a working whole that has many learned behaviors across disparate domains, and be able to leverage learned behavior from one domain onto new ones.
We finally have enough snow, and the slope seems about right, perhaps all we need is a big enough snowball with enough mass to take off rolling down the hill of experience, adding newly trained submodules as new experiences are encountered. Just gotta build that first big snowball and get it rolling.
