They are very low, almost historical levels.
So no, don’t get an adjustible rate mortgage, even if they’ll give you a lower initial rate.

Historically, rates are still very low. As a matter of fact, they are still low even when comparing out longer than 20 years. If you ask your parents or grandparents, they can tell you that they remember buying homes with mortgage interest rates of 11% or 12% in the 80’s. Credit is also much easier to obtain.
According to Bankrate.com, the current prime rate is 6.00% This is the rate that banks give to their best customers (well, in some cases they give even lower rates)
