AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around skepticism regarding the prospect of achieving immortality within the next 20 years. Participants express doubts about the feasibility of significantly extending human lifespan through scientific advancements, citing a lack of historical precedent for such rapid progress. While acknowledging ongoing research into nanomachines, they emphasize that current technology is far from being able to maintain perfect bodily regulation. The consensus leans towards the belief that true advancements in longevity may not occur for at least another two centuries, with calls for credible scientific backing from biologists and biochemists before accepting claims of imminent immortality.

I think that 20 years is too soon
There hasn't been a significant prolongation of human lifespan by scientific methods never in history, so to believe that overnight we are going to achieve immortality is like to believe in star signs. Completely absurd
Nanomachines are actually in progress, but they are very far to achieve the efficiency to keep perfect regulation of the human body
I'm not sure if immortality will be achieved some day, but for sure not before two hundred years from now
 
When a real biologist/biochemist starts making these claims, then I'll start taking them seriously.
