Unfortunately I don't know any AI researchers who have done work in the past 5 decades. Would you care to share what would happen?
In all honesty I have no idea. Would they laugh and say that "no way AI needs another 20 years"? Or would they say it's only a few years until everyone working with their hands is out of work? Kudos on the pretentious reply btw.

Reading about the AI Winter[1] will provide some useful background.
However, there is some evidence that it really is different this time. Big data makes a big difference to things like image recognition.

I imagine they will say "I've heard that same prediction every week for all of those 5 decades."
