How much will AI still develop... probably to the point where reality and the AI world cannot be distinguished at all in just 5 years. AI cannot develop itself into something superhuman because it doesn’t have a teacher capable of explaining the mysteries of metaphysics to it....But soon, quantum computers will arrive, with computational capacities that are incomprehensible....If we briefly compare it to a maze in the binary world, a PC tries every possible path to get out. A quantum computer does it all at once and so quickly that, metaphorically speaking, by the time you’ve calculated your way out of the maze, it’s already outside before you even notice it’s moving—even if the maze has a million different paths.

When such a quantum computer starts working with AI, it will likely understand everything humans have ever created in seconds and will probably advance human mental potential far beyond its current limits. However, if used for evil, it could also cause a great deal of harm.
