No. He’s not joking. Some very serious people - with very serious financial backing - all over the world, are working on it.

Most now prefer to use the term ‘Artifical General Intelligence.’ Google it.

I do not doubt how serious and financial backed some of these people might be, that in itself does not give veracity to the claim.

Well I guess then, what I want to hear is is what their definition of ‘human equivalent AI’ is and how one would ‘create’ that. Sounds to much like Terminator to me. And any technology based on silicon microprocessors, ram etc., and powered by electricity, it wont happen except by which they simply change their definition of what ‘human equivalent AI’ is to be.

Maybe that is why they now term it ‘Artifical General Intelligence’ as you say.
