Mustafa Suleyman had been the head of AI at Google but then he quit and started his own AI company, Inflection AI, which is backed by Nvidia, he says in a recent Barron's article that because of AI we are now entering "the most economically productive decade ever". He also says this about his own company:
"We are about to train models that are 10 times larger than the cutting edge GPT-4 and then 100 times larger than GPT-4. That’s what things look like over the next 18 months.That’s going to be absolutely staggering. It’s going to be eye-wateringly different. I think we can largely eliminate hallucinations [chatbots’ tendency to make up facts and information] in the next two years"
Eye-wateringly different, that's not a bad description of the Singularity.
