OpenAI researcher Will Depue predicts AI will surpass humans at virtually every functional skill within 15-20 years, comparing himself to Magnus Carlsen facing Stockfish — "great for a human, then absolutely wiped by the AI." A self-described "tremendous AI optimist," he admits the prospect makes him sad "as a metaphorical chess player," while cautioning people to take his rapid-fire tweets with a grain of salt.
