REMEMBER: WE ARE HERE
"remember: we are here." That was my caption on a Wait But Why chart about AI intelligence.
The chart draws a red curve rising through animal intelligence, then past the lines labeled DUMB HUMAN and EINSTEIN. Beside one stick figure: "Haha that's adorable the funny robot can do monkey tricks!" Beside the next: "The fuck??"
The contrast is the point of the image: the same upward curve, two very different human reactions. It is a cartoon, not a dated forecast. There are no calendar dates or numerical intelligence scores on its axes.
