CROWD:SPLIT
The quote is classic Musk: specific enough to dominate the conversation, but vague on what “surpass human intelligence” would actually mean in practice. It is less a measurable forecast than a high-voltage framing device for the AGI race.
Editor's noteWhatSayAI Editorial
A strong quote because it turns an abstract AGI debate into a near-term countdown.
