AI is different than previous technologies in that a sufficiently advanced AI can "adopt" itself. That is, it can analyze the situation of a company (asking questions when necessary), describe the benefits, and deploy itself. This sounds like science fiction, but is very plausible in 3 years of trends hold.

The whole thing is that the trend wont hold steady. Its a n s curve and will taper off. The onky question is if the asympote is tapers to is above a certain threshold or not. Like the threshold needed to achieve what your talking about.

I dont know about the capability your talking about, but anyone who thinks these things are guaranteed, or a matter of time, is in for a rude awakening over the next few years

People have been foretelling the S curve flattening for years now. At every jump of capability people confidently assert that no more progress is possible, it has reached a plateau, there is no way to go beyond this, it's a fundamental limitation of the architecture, of the training methods etc. The horse will never ride the astronaut, it won't recognize cows on beaches, new theorems will never be proved, etc. etc.

It hasnt flattened yet. And the question is when will it. But its stupif to think its exponential. These things just arent exponential. The first half of the s curve seems exponential and wishful thinking extrapolates from there

This is a very shallow point. The whole question is about where the S curve ends. Nobody claims that it will literally progress beyond all physical limits and number of atoms in the universe and beyond energy constraints contained in the universe and whatnot.

Literally does not exist
