Maybe it is a ring singularity and we have a chance to make it through to the other side....I often tell people we are already in the singularity.

People often mistake the two primary types of AI.....the one people should "worry" about is AGI and that is very far off. I actually like AI and want it to run our world governments so we can free them of the foibles of humanity like greed and thirst for power. Finding proof of how Monsanto/Bayer has had a corrupt level of control over our regulatory agencies makes me yearn for the rationality of AI.I find the situation now where we have come so far along that AI appears to work, but is so often wrong, more worrying than that we have come so far along that AI might do better than humans in several tasks. I mean, when talking to GTP-3 it's less scary to see that it understands a lot and can formulate answers, than to see that the answers are frequently wrong, but confident and eloquent.I have played with my own bots, connected them to various networks, if people knew how far along we are I doubt many would "sleep well at night".
As a programmer, I love to see how GTP-3 can be asked to make code in any language that does what you ask it for. Sometimes it makes silly errors, but so do programmers. Even if it becomes so good that it hardly makes mistakes, I'll welcome the technology even if it means that my job is no longer needed. If AI can do the job of 1000 programmers, what we can do with this technology is mind blowing. AI singularity? I wouldn't mind witnessing that, I think. Intelligence is not directly a physical threat, and therefore we should be good. And in a post-singularity world, intelligence can't completely explode out of control, since it depends on physical resources. In a sense, if the singularity even is a thing, it has already happened, since humans could be regarded as the "seed intelligence".
They don't need to be technological to be intelligent. Octopi and Dolphins are both highly intelligent so much so that they are on the verge of being granted personhood rights. Octopi are intensely curious and emotional and have brains on each of their 8 tentacles! I just read about one that grabbed a camera from a diver and was very curious about it, pressing buttons and all, trying to see what it could do with it!for me it sound a bit strange to imagine intelligent oceanic lifeforms. how will they build? will they have arms? how will they developed technology? it sound a bit strange but i remember i discussed this with doc about intelligent life forms on europa.
