The world will be full of "sci-fi" things, and everyone will be bored and disappointed
ai
LessWrong hosts a lengthy reflection on a curious paradox: artificial intelligence will likely achieve what previous generations called sci-fi—solving Millennium math problems, finding disease cures, and generating software—within three to ten years. Yet according to the author's conversations with mathematicians, developers, and colleagues, most people won't actually be impressed. LLMs have already solved problems that went unsolved for decades, yet audiences remain unmoved. Even developers using AI coding tools daily don't expect superintelligence in their lifetimes. The prediction: remarkable AI breakthroughs will arrive, but most people will remain underwhelmed—or even disappointed.
