> However, that good AI won't counter bad AI seems unreasonable. We have some pretty good models of what happens in the world when evil runs amok - other intelligence steps in. Why wouldn't this happen with AI?
Precisely because other intelligence usually steps in, and an AI would know that and would see the development of new AI as a threat to it's own existence, making efforts to stop it. This, to me, is the answer to your points 1, 2 and 4.
>Thirdly, we were going to have Real AI in 20-30 years in 1980. It's safe to say that at no time in my life as a computer scientist has AI been further away than it is right now..
What do you mean, has the development of AI gone backwards for some reason?
WBW has a pretty extensive multipost article about the subject, I linked it in the OP but the in the second part he talks about the experts' predictions and most of them seem to agree that it's sooner rather than later. Those are people working in the field, AI experts as the book calls them and I'd wager they know more about the subject than those people making predictions in 1980, right?
