    A projection of AI’s development over the coming years published by something called the AI Futures Project under the title “AI 2027” states: “We predict that the impact of superhuman AI over the next decade will be enormous, exceeding that of the Industrial Revolution.”

    Every time I see a reference to this I’m reminded of the book: “The Third World War” by General Sir John Hackett. A speculative fiction that seemed to present it as if it were fact.

    It didn’t happen this way, has yet to happen (obviously). AI 2027 is just a shiny modern version of this book crawling with some wildly speculative takes.
