If we had AI that was as much smarter than us than we are than, say, dolphins or chimpanzees... assuming that physical limits kept that gap from widening, would you see that as this disastrous singularity? See, I always thought of the singularity, at least the hard takeoff as this idea that we'd come up with an ai that could make smarter copies of itself. Without any physical limits, that AI would get to the point where it was essentially infinitely smarter and infinitely more powerful than us. I personally see that as fundamentally different from the difference between humans and the higher animals. I mean, that's a big difference, sure, but it's certainly finite.
