Well, narrow AI is the kind of conversational companions that I was describing.

A more general AI is going to be one where it has things like recursive self-improvement.

Like, it's limited.

It doesn't improve on its own.

It could edit its own code in order to get better, or it could self-improve, or it would have autonomy.

So, you know, you sort of train it within some boundaries, and then it gets good at a specific number of tasks.

It could act independently of your direct, you know, command essentially, or you give it a very general command, you know, and it goes off and does all sort of sub actions that are super complicated.

Like, it's good at great conversation.

Maybe it can do document understanding.

Maybe it can even generate a little bit of code, but we know what its capabilities are to some extent.

Like, you know, maybe even invent a new product and create a website for it and then set up a drop ship for it and then, you know, go and market it and, you know,

That's a narrow version of AI when we use it for a specific purpose.

A more general AI is going to be one where it has things like recursive self-improvement.

grab all the, you know, take all the income and then do the accounts and so on.

I mean, I think that's kind of plausible in say three to five years before 2030.

It could edit its own code in order to get better, or it could self-improve, or it would have autonomy.

I think we'll definitely have that and might well be much, much sooner.

It could act independently of your direct command, essentially.

Could well be like a lot sooner.

Or you give it a very general command, and it goes off and does all sort of sub-actions that are super complicated, like maybe even invent a new product and create a website for it, and then set up a dropship for it, and then go and market it.
