"By 2029, computers will have human level intelligence. " In 2024 It's still hit or miss whether my phone will correctly pair with my car. Computers can _simulate_ intelligence or understanding and can shock you but don't forget a kid is shocked when a magician pulls a rabbit out of a hat. The average person's understanding of how a computer works is on a par with that kid. I've worked in computing four decades now and I can confidently state you would not want a computer to do your tax returns in 2029 and most likely not in 2099.
