Richard Dooling
“Sentences that begin with 'You' are probably not true. For instance, when I write: "You are a pet human named Morlock being disciplined by your master, a Beowulf cluster of FreeBSD 22.0 servers in the year 2052. Last week you tried to escape by digging a hole under the perimeter, which means this week you may be put to sleep for being a renegade human."

That's not true, at least not yet.”
Richard Dooling, Rapture for the Geeks: When AI Outsmarts IQ

Vernor Vinge
“Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended. (1993)”
Vernor Vinge, The coming technological singularity: How to survive in the post-human era
