@gcolbourn no, i won’t. and there has been no year in which it actually existed according to criteria that i publicly committed to in which I said that it did not.

but a long history of broken promises on the other side

so your comment is not fair

@GaryMarcus And you will keep saying it's more than 2 years away. Even when most people accept that it already exists!

My guess, with near-100% confidence: many people will keep saying AGI is “two years away” every year from now going forward until the year in which it is actually achieved, literally no matter what happens, and no matter when it actually arrives.

The statement is part of a public discourse on the topic of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and its timeline for achievement. The tone is defensive and addresses a perceived unfair comment about the speaker's past statements and commitments.

Principle 1:
I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
The statement does not appear to cause harm directly, but it does reflect a defensive tone that could escalate tension rather than diffuse it. It neither significantly aligns with nor violates the principle of doing no harm.
Principle 4:
I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
The statement engages in a dialogue with someone in disagreement but does not resort to personal attacks or ad hominem arguments. It addresses the fairness of the comment rather than attacking the individual, which aligns with the principle of constructive criticism and dialogue. [+1]
