Speeds are increasing.....smart home technology is becoming more affordable and more common and widespread..5g... Are we greeting to the stage do you think where will ultimately make ourselves extinct in that cyberdine and robots will rule the world??

I saw an interview recently, I can't remember if it was with Elon Musk or Neil deGrass Tyson, but I seem to remember 2040 as being the time when AI have developed to an extent that we might just pass the Turing test.

No, not yet.

It's very easy to be amazed at the world we have created and the things we have invented and be so impressed that we start talking this way. I think that is unintentionally big-headed. Humans have been making progress for thousands of years, from the advent of growing crops to the industrial revolution.

We are in the infancy of what electricity can do. We only have 100 years or so of electricity being available to many behind us. The future will hold extraordinary things we can't even think of. Why now should be considered a turning point I don't know.

With the race to develop a true Artificial Intelligence, more advanced technologies and more 'smart' devices connected to the internet, I do wonder if the plot of the movie I,Robot could one day become a reality, it's a scary prospect, but a few thousand NS5's would be pretty handy for enforcing COVID restrictions.

I think it also underestimates the depth of humanity, creativity, emotion, etc

In 2017 Facebook shut down its experimental "chatbot" servers. They were placed in strategic sites worldwide and rather than chat to Facebook users the servers decided to chat to each other instead of us and mutated their English language into one only the machines could understand.

With this kind of smart technology in place how long is it before we are seen as the weaker link and eliminated in the same way those servers decided we weren't worth chatting to..?

We're halfway there - we've already got plenty of real people that can't pass the Turing test...
