Any tech prophecy that throws out the time frame of “5 to 10 years” should immediately be suspect, especially if no roadmap is given.
A 5 to 10-year timeframe is what investors want to hear.
Update: This is concerning the 60 Minutes fluff piece with Google’s DeepMind—just embarrassingly bad and uncritical journalism. I’m typically a fan of 60 Minutes, but this was not good.

They read: Vutok Rîsenorrun likes native platinum, tin, red zircon, giant brown recluse spider silk, quivers, amulets, fian narwhals for their horns, the words of The Prophecy of Prophets and the sight of The Beloved Tulip. When possible, he prefers to consume fire imp and purple amaranth beer. He absolutely detests slugs.
