The computer had the questions before hand? - thats a giant brainfart for AI - almost as bad as letting people read books and learn something. Yeah, it's not perfect - but were getting there.

If you define AI as being compared to what a human brain is capable of doing, then it will never happen. Try coding love or creating a Mona Lisa into a computer. Simply impossible

and 50 when its official

Why would it be impossible? We have ones like you described built out if biomolecules.

Proof?

You and I

AI = Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial = made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, typically as a copy of something natural.

Sorry, humans did not create humans. Doesn't make sense...

I don't see why can't we create AI capable of sentience, given enough time considering we evolved spontaneously. Of course there's the problem of knowing whether an AI has a subjective experience or not, but at least it could imitate an entity that has it.

I kinda agree with both of you if it's possible...
Given enough time we'll achieve an understanding of ourselves and our "functions" like the ones cited by diablokgb such as love hate etc and then like Neptunus said we can build an AI inspired by that knowledge with biomolecules and inorganic compounds, why not?.

It's not even close to it, but John craig venter made something like he wrote a genome with all and only the necessary genes to a bacterium to live on independently that he transfected to a bacterium (which was emptied of all genomic information before) (I put the link below for those who might want to look this up or do further researchs)
And a cell is supposed to be way easier to understand than a multicellular being.

So to come back to the topic, I think that since we can't make an artificial cell, by the time we can gather all the knowledge to make a real AI as we can see in the most futuristic movies we'll all (and I mean humanity, not just you and me) be dead already or something
But we already have some AI, and in 50 years we'll have improved that, but it won't be as "perfect" as we are, so like diablokgb I think it's impossible but time being the problem, not that it's just too hard.
