Mate, for 5 years I've been hearing that crap. I am not predicting anything / on the contrary the AI boosting bunch is. When are your predictions coming true?

AFAIK, most predictions from several years ago were for...approximately now to within the next few years. Can you be more specific?

You criticized a very specific (and fake/misquoted) prediction, ignored the correction, and are now criticizing vague hand-wavey "predictions" that you have left unspecified.

Can you please stop with the angry/ranty replies and actually have a real conversation grounded in actual facts?

Now, having said all of the above...I'll also point out that these are predictions, not promises/guarantees. These people are being asked to forecast and are doing so. I hardly think they should be held responsible for not being literal oracles, but even so--please, at least quote them correctly/at all.

In short: be better than the hallucinations you're seen to call out from the models.
