I only mentioned reincarnation because the previous commenter mentioned it. He obviously believes in it, I don't as you may gather from my comment. But hey, if he wants to believe in reincarnation, as you believe in a singularity, that's OK too. 70 years ago, people believed that computers would 'very soon now' understand spoken natural languages like Russian, Chinese or even English. That's 'understand' as in 'know it at a reasoning level', not 'understand' as in 'manipulate the word tokens'. Such a simple goal, but that is still decades (more likely centuries) away from our current capabilities.
