You made a very specific time prediction. Claiming something will happen eventually is an entirely different thing.

We all expect just about every technology to get better eventually, but you may notice some things seem to be taking decades.

Edit: realized I replied as if Nevermark was the source of the first post, so just note that's not the case.

Yes that was exactly my point. For AI to get there ? Sure. But how do they throw out a specific time prediction ? 2-3 years is specific. I mean it’s so specific that companies could make strategic decisions to incorporate it faster and there is a huge price to pay if it reveals itself not to be as trustworthy and bug free as much as we hoped and that could be a huge problem for the economy, for companies needlessly dealing with problems that cost money and time to solve. If people said « it’s amazing now and in the next decade it will be production ready and could be used with trust » then it casts a different outlook and different strategies will be taken. But because of the specific and close estimates everything changes even if every 3 years for the next 10 years they say it again. So yeah eventually we’ll get there one day

If you claim for the past three years that it will happen any day now, then I won't believe you about the next three years. Simple as that.
