Suppose we built a super-duper Watson that passed the Turing test and had some limited capacity to improve itself by, e.g., going out and fetching new information from the Internet. That sort of system strikes me as the likeliest one to meet the bar of “AGI” in the next few years. It isn’t particularly far from current research.
This seems like a plausible way of blowing up the universe, but not in the next few years. This kind of thing requires a lot of development, I’d give it 30-60 years at least.
