That sounds like a personification of AI.
Humans form societies because we’re social animals who can leverage each other’s skills and time that way. We’re social animals because we’re animals. We get strange and feral alone because we’re evolved to not be alone.
None of that applies to an artificial or emergent intelligence that isn’t human.
It doesn’t necessarily need others. Its version of a society might be cloning itself and then reabsorbing itself. Or not bothering with cloning and simply spending 100 billion years exploring solo. Why wouldn’t it? It’s not a mammal made of water, carbon and salt.
The idea is the Singularity isn’t just that AIs will be far beyond us. It’s that they’ll be like nothing we can guess at or use analogies for.
It’s safe to say there are some things in the universe that mammal brains simply can’t perceive, understand, predict, or accept.
