Superintelligence is not a "sci-fi" notion. That would be like saying, a few years before the Wright brothers, that human powered flight is a sci-fi notion. The last ten years have seen massive progress in AI, and another 10 years of such massive progress could very plausibly lead do superhuman intelligence. It's not sci-fi at all.

That would have been exactly correct at the time. The difference between real and sci-fi is implemented technology.

There are certainly classes of sci-fi technology that we know are likely impossible fantasies, but that doesn't mean the rest of it is real.

The OP obviously meant with "sci-fi" that the 10 years projected by Altman & Co are completely unrealistic, implying superintelligence being definitely far further away.
