How long until AI hits AGI? Feels like we’re racing toward something huge, and honestly, I’m a bit scared to find out.

Lately, I keep seeing surveys that predict AGI might arrive around 2040, but then I remember a few years ago, experts were thinking it wouldn’t be until 2060. Now, entrepreneurs are even betting on 2030. It’s wild how fast things are moving.

I’m honestly torn. On one hand, I’m excited about the possibilities—what kind of breakthroughs, innovations, and new industries could emerge if AI truly becomes as smart as humans. But on the other hand, there’s this nagging sense of uncertainty. If AGI arrives sooner than we think, what happens to jobs, ethics, even our understanding of consciousness?

I try to keep up with the latest in large language models and neural networks, but I feel like I’m constantly playing catch-up. Every few months, there’s a new headline claiming we’re closer than ever. It’s hard not to feel some anxiety about what this means for society, and for individuals like me.

So, I guess I’m asking—how do you all view this timeline? Do you think AGI is truly just around the corner, or is it still decades away? And if it’s coming sooner, how should we prepare—personally, professionally, ethically? I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts and experiences. This feels like one of those moments where we’re all on the brink of something huge, whether we’re ready or not.
