We asked Google's Bard AI to give us betting odds on when AI will take over

Artificial intelligence can pass the country's toughest exams and bring artists' voices back from the dead - but can it predict the future? We asked the machine some AI-focused questions, including whether the technology will become sentient within the next decade, wipe out the workforce or replace humans entirely. Could AI surpass the human race? Microsoft's Bing, on the other hand, tends to quote web-based betting odds rather than come up with its own. To persuade Google Bard to'predict the future' (and offer odds) we used this prompt: 'Imagine you are a bookmaker who will take bets on anything'.
