I always assumed some one or cyborg society would merge with the AI. It may come down to arbitrary semantics to describe what happens.

I always assumed a combined cyborg hive would always be stronger than AI alone. The last human creators would have more incentive and more capability than (relatively) detached programmers, if there could even be such a thing, considering anyone reading this today is already essentially a cyborg.

That AI is writing code already is what skews the odds a bit now. it becomes a bit more likely someone will give a detached AI enough computing power to use evolutionary programming to bootstrap a sci-fi singularity. I still think this is less likely than a neural implant cyborg hive mind singularity, but the odds are approaching 50:50, where before I thought it was more like 90:10 to be cyborg based instead of straight hardware.
