I'd argue the lead up to the Singularity with Transformative AI will be more comprehensibly exciting anyway.

The technological singularity won't happen at any particular time or exact point in time. Using the Kurzweilian definition of the tech singularity, it's about an immense rate of technological change. There's no magic number.

I agree with that definition. There's always the possibility, we don't know what's on the other side of the singularity, that it could propel us instantaneously into weird tech but I don't really bother debating that kind of stuff. What's happening now is plenty exciting for my brain.
