yea ik. ill look. i was just curious if a large margin would say no

It is according to Wikipedia
“A hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization.”

The singularity is defined as the moment AI "wakes up" and becomes conscious.

Do you? Cause its also a shitton other things, incuding a game, a monpolar magnet, and like 10 diffrent things in math.
You meant 'technological singularity'

I voted yes , it's the point of acceleration where we cannot understand what's happening anymore basically? Where our collective logic / ability to predict can't keep up with what's happening

A better question would be "Have you read the Singularity Is Near"?

I hooe you had the sense to vote no.

I hooe you voted no.

Thing is I vote yes but I’m not sure what it really means ,and I feel like nobody can predict it when prognoses and guesses are just not good enough to be capable of understanding what is really about to happen ,I’m aware and lost at the same time
iNstein t1_ja14c1c wrote
Stupid people THINK they are smart. I have already spotted 2 posts here with the wrong definition and no doubt they voted yes.

Why would anyone be able to answer this? If you don't know you don't know that you don't know.

my definition is an AI that can recursively & exponentially improve itself to a point that human intelligence isn't qualified to make decisions

its just to see if this sub is full of geniuses or bandwagoners

good book just out of date and a good chunk of his predictions have been incorrect. ray kurzweil is a big inspiration of mine but sometimes he is off.

i voted yes

No. We will get there before the singularity

If you and I as humans understand it, is it actually the singularity?

upvote for educational purposes.

Is this a trick question where the yeses are automatically wrong? Seems silly either way. But I’d die for your right to make silly polls.
I only joined this sub recently but yes it seems to be the AI hype / pop science sub. Kinda fun to watch though.

And you are somehow the expert.
I know what it is and I am one of the AI Hypers
Know your roll

Why, though?

becuz i know what the definitoin of the singularity is. duh
The Technological Singularity is a name originally derived from mathematics and physics that describes a point where the model breaks down (in that case due to an infinity, or discontinuity/loss of analyticity) and no further well-defined predictions can be made.
The technological singularity similarly applies the name to the concept of a time in human history where technological development (for example the development of human-level AI) sets a limit on how far we can predict. Anything after the singularity is unpredictable to people that exist before the singularity occurs.
As a large language model developed by OpenAI, I cannot predict the future with any certainty, and cannot say whether a Technological Singularity is imminent. The future is complex, and there are many contributing factors that will determine whether a Technological Singularity will occur.
In conclusion, the singularity is a point in time beyond which humans cannot predict due to technological development. However, when and how such an event will occur is the subject of much discussion and debate.

see, i wrote that myself without any referals. now u see why i voted yes

I voted yes.

1:5 ppl here dont know what singularity means

Knowing what the singularity is does not a genius make.
Dyedoe t1_ja1z072 wrote
That’s not a definition of singularity but it is almost certainly what will cause singularity… I guess you’re right about some people on this sub not knowing what singularity is.

its where the geniuses are. this is more a filter test to see if this subreddit is still intellectually sound. my hopes weren't that high to begin with
innovate_rye OP t1_ja21ysd wrote
well im not going to say, "when ai is smarter than all humans ever", "when AI becomes super intelligent", or "the moment ai becomes so smart we just don't ever know what will happen." those r lame answers
FC4945 t1_ja2alma wrote
There's certainly no way to know what ASI will truly be like as our monkey brains can't possibly conceive of it. Nor can we imagine what we will be like once we multiply our intelligence a billion fold. That's why it takes the name from a blackholes. You can't see what happens beyond the event horizon of a blackhole.

Sounds like right now tbh

Don't worry we geniuses are still lurking here
You can count onus to keep the /r/singularity intellectually smarterer
Your plan worked!

I get the feeling OP aspires to be a MENSA member.

idek what to think. almost 1:4 people said no

im not a genius. its just where the innovations r happening

i had no idea what MENSA was before you mentioned it and i looked it up. hell no. im into mila quebec

Results will not reflect reality since many will vote 'yes' even without knowing the real meaning (See all the posts asking about what comes after the singularity).
