François Chollet on Twitter: "AI & robotics made tremendous progress from 1960 to 1970. Industrial robots in factories, first expert systems, ELIZA, SHRDLU, Shakey, and, yes, backprop. "In from three to eight years we will have a machine with the general intelligence of an average human being" --Minsky, 1970"

  That prediction could have used a confidence interval.

  Also genetic algorithms and production systems. But even if Minsky was only off by a factor of 10, still close in geologic time :)

  Without proper problem definition one can propose such statement in X years we will have Y. But what is Y anyway?

  Poor Minsky. A great mind but he passed away never realizing that the brain is a massive timing mechanism. Even though his Society of Mind was really cool, the central importance of timing to everything in intelligence never crossed his mind. Rest in peace, Marvin.

  If you’re suggesting that Minsky’s estimate was objectively justified, color me deeply skeptical.
