There is not going to be an AGI created out of thin air. Instead, AI is going to gradually improve in the background, unnoticed by the general public.

I sense an apprehensiveness from the public about how an AGI may be created. They think it's an event that will happen in the future. It's not. The AGI apocalypse has already begun.<br><br>For the last decade, I've been paying attention to AI, and the results have been nothing short of impressive. It's visible if you pay attention, but it's also very subtle. One day, it's there, the next day you don't really think about it anymore. Suddenly, a once impossible task is routine. Speech to text. Image recognition. Video generation. Language translation. Think back to when you first heard of an AI doing one of these tasks. You were impressed, and then you forgot and moved on with your life. We're going to be seeing this over and over again. In fact, it's already becoming routine. <br><br>What's happening is that we're in the process of creating an AGI. Billion dollar corporations like Google and Facebook are working on it. Thousands of smaller teams are working on it. We're making tremendous progress in this space, and people were impressed at first, but we've created AGI in tiny little increments. It's not a singular event, it's a gradual process, and it's not something the general public has any awareness of. I guarantee most people think of AI as 'image and chatbot generators,' and that's it. It is already so much more than that. It's in the background in thousands, maybe millions, of applications<br><br>Each day, with each press release, we're becoming more dependent on AGI. Businesses are building it into every process they can. Google does it with search results. Netflix does it with recommendations. Amazon does it with advertisements. The government is already using it in healthcare and the legal system. It's light years beyond what we had 10 years ago. It's not just 'generating images.' It's now a part of our everyday lives. <br><br>I don't think we need to worry about a singular AGI being created in a lab. It's not like someone is going to be like, "Nope, we're good. This AGI is smart enough." No. It's going to continue to improve at an exponential pace. We're going to see improvements in the quality of video generation, language generation, music generation. We're going to see improvements in the technology in cars, which will become self-driving. We're going to see improvements in medicine, with new treatments and drugs rapidly being created. We're going to see improvements in algorithms for anything and everything. And slowly, things are going to get better. But we're also going to see jobs evaporate. We're going to have entire industries wiped out overnight. People are going to lose their careers. Jobs are going to go away forever.<br><br>And we're still going to be making tremendous progress in AGI. We're going to be using it more and more, but we won't even recognize it as AGI. It's going to infiltrate every corner of our lives. It's going to be doing the vast majority of the work in healthcare and law. It's going to be inside the cars, making decisions on who lives and dies in an accident. It's going to be the food we eat. It's going to make the clothes we wear. It's going to be in every single good we consume. And we're going to be relying on it more and more. But it's also going to be taking our jobs. And it's going to be taking control of a portion of our lives. And we're already seeing it. In a way, we've already created AGI. But no one knows it's here.
