Wake me up when AI can...
What happened
A collection of about 800 “wake me up when AI can…” statements from Hacker News spanning 2016‑2026 was compiled and voted on by nearly 10,000 people, resulting in over 100,000 votes on whether various AI capabilities had been achieved. The voting showed mixed results, with only about 8% of statements about AI passing the Turing test receiving a clear “yes,” and many showing uncertainty or “no.”
Why it matters
The exercise highlights how public expectations for AI evolve over time and how perceived milestones, like passing the Turing test, are often reassessed as capabilities improve.
Is this a big deal?
