No chance of Super-Intelligent AI soon

 The president of Microsoft said that there was absolutely no chance of super-intelligent AI being created "soon", meaning in the next 12 months! After that it could take "years". Decades are certainly possible, I take it, but not likely.

Of course, super-intelligent AI is the term for something much smarter than the smartest humans. So perhaps reaching ordinary human intelligence will be sooner!

This could be a conspiracy theory, but maybe the Microsoft announcement meant super-intelligent AI won't be announced until after next year's election, like the vaccines in 2020. So "years" but not within a year, means it will happen under the next presidential term most likely.

A better conspiracy theory, is there is are already a super-intelligent AI that runs Microsoft, and it just announced it to throw us off.

On a more serious note, I am a not seeing a "super intelligent AI" in the near future either. I think it is possible but as far as i can tell even ChatGP is not even close. I think it is a good tool to augment some work but is not great leap. To be clear I have never seen it make anything interesting made from it alone, it seems to copy or do uncreative stuff fairly well, help in some things.
