That makes the whole conclusion obviously false.

I don't really understand why, but I think we are going to see total denial from a significant percentage of the population all the way up to and past the point where many average mathematicians and software engineers cannot in any way compete with AI.

We already are reportedly getting pretty close with o1 (not o1-preview).

There are also new paradigms for machine learning and hardware in the pipeline that will continue to provide orders of magnitude performance gains and new capabilities in the next 5-10 years.

Many people still claim that "self driving cars don't exist", in so many words, even though they are deployed in multiple cities.

But just look at the predictions of that time - cities will change, ... and so on. Sure, we have self-driving cars but the reality looks very different (and a lot more like the past!) than the pundits and futurists imagined! I'm not sure anyone will make their billions of dollars investmented back within even 20 years.

Just two random examples from ~10 years ago (2013-2016), you can google many more of that time.
