emphasis on 'people have no idea'
even 90% of the people that think they've got a handle on it, don't realize what's going on, because it's nearly impossible for someone to keep track of even a single category like 'AI art' which is actually playing out like a very shiny illusion that masks how much other progress there is in every adjacent field, notably including hardware AI accelerators engineered by AI, or the 150000+ ML papers published recently that are definitely all human made.

If the 'singularity' is a time where progress is so fast that people cannot actually keep track of it, then welcome to what that feels like - 99% of people are not aware that they are not aware of things they are not aware of, so unless there are skynet terminator robots walking around with skull faces and laser cannons, they tend think everything is basically normal. It isn't. AI is taking over the planet and will continue to do so, which might become the first time in history where civilization is ruled by 'intelligence'. Anyone against AI can gtfo as far as I'm concerned.
