    AI has been advancing exponentially, it’s just a very small exponent.

    In the 1980s, it was “five years out” - and it more or less has been that until the past 5-10 years. It’s moving much faster now, but still much slower than people expect.

    They think because they saw HAL in the 2001 movie back in 1968, that should have been reality by the 1970s, or certainly by 2010.

    Some things move faster than people expect, like the death of newspapers and the first class letter, but most move slower.
