Rejoice, for the year of 2025 is finally over. <\/p>\n

During our planet\u2019s latest and seemingly interminable revolution around the Sun, the tech industry\u2019s obsession with AI soared to ever more implausible heights<\/a>. CEOs began openly gloating<\/a> about replacing their underlings with AI \u201cagents.\u201d The phenomenon of so-called AI psychosis<\/a> became a national news story as more people were seemingly driven over the edge by their silver-tongued chatbot companions. \u201cSlop\u201d took on a new meaning<\/a>. And the word \u201ccircular<\/a>\u201d suddenly started being used a whole lot in the same sentence as \u201cbillions of dollars\u201d or even \u201chundreds of billions of dollars.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Will 2026 finally deliver us from this endless cavalcade of large language model madness? Not likely, according to computer scientist and \u201cgodfather\u201d of AI Geoffrey Hinton. AI will only continue to improve next year, he predicts, reaching a point where it will liberate us from all our horrible low-paying jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019re going to see AI get even better,\u201d Hinton said during an interview<\/a> on CNN\u2019s <\/em>State of the Union on Sunday. \u201cIt\u2019s already extremely good. We\u2019re going to see it having the capabilities to replace many, many jobs. It\u2019s already able to replace jobs in call centers, but it\u2019s going to be able to replace many other jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hinton was one of three recipients of the prestigious Turing Award in 2018 for his work on neural networks that formed the bedrock of modern AI, earning him the moniker of being a \u201cgodfather\u201d of the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2023, Hinton declared that he regretted his life\u2019s work after stepping down from his role at Google<\/a>, where he had been for over a decade. Since then, he\u2019s become one of the tech\u2019s most prominent doomsayers.<\/p>\n

During the CNN<\/em> interview, Hinton was asked whether he was more or less worried about AI since making that now infamous declaration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m probably more worried,\u201d Hinton replied. \u201cIt\u2019s progressed even faster than I thought. In particular, it\u2019s got better at doing things like reasoning and also at things like deceiving people.\u201d<\/p>\n

AI is progressing so quickly, according to Hinton, that around every seven months it can complete tasks that took twice as long before. He predicted that it\u2019s only a matter of years\u00a0until an AI will effortlessly perform software engineering tasks that take a human a month to complete.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then there\u2019ll be very few people need for software engineering projects,\u201d Hinton added.<\/p>\n

Hinton made similarly gloomy predictions in a talk with Senator Bernie Sanders last month, saying<\/a> that tech leaders are \u201cbetting on AI replacing a lot of workers.\u201d<\/p>\n

It still remains to be seen, though, if AI will actually make those strides. Many efforts to replace workers with semi-autonomous AI models have failed<\/a>, while some new models, like OpenAI\u2019s GPT-5, showed only lackluster improvements<\/a>.<\/p>\n
