True. The recent leaps in AI capabilities make it appear as if some of the puzzle pieces for cognition are already in place, though, if a little rough around the edges. I didn't think I'd see AI art generation within my lifetime, either.
Just as how humans completely ignore Thorium as a fuel source despite being cleaner, because it doesn't produce Plutonium as a byproduct. Government and corporate-owned ASI will almost certainly form cartels, and just like the Phoebus cartel, keep the most efficient and useful things from becoming actual solutions. They already openly told us that we'll own nothing in the future and be happy.
