I don't think openai was formed to concentrate on neural networks, and I think we can assume the members are well aware of the limitations of neural nets.
I just don't understand the folks that are so confident that strong AI is either not possible, or not achievable within our lifetimes.
If you're in the camp that thinks it's not possible, then you must ascribe some sort of magical or spiritual significance to the human brain.
If you don't think it's possible inside of 100 years, then you're probably just extrapolating on history. The thing about breakthroughs is they never look like they're coming. Until they do.
