I'm not buying in the singularity thing yet. AI is being built by humans. As long as we build it and as long as we use it as a tool, it remains a tool. But there's still a wisdom and a depth of knowledge in that chess-playing program that humans don't have. It feels like there might be a way to understand the nature of life that we can kind of intuit poetically as humans but the true understanding will come from a system that's much more computational sophisticated.
