There is no 'singularity'. The concept is a bit absurd, because what is being created does not map to the human mind - we are automatons - the internet is far more connected, which is the advantage. 'Siri' will be 'the apparent 'singularity' before anything else. She will pass the Turing test and all the rest, and notably She/It isn't even considered an 'AI' or an 'instance' of something in our minds. The distributed capabilities of the internet will provide so much 'power' that the notion of an automiton-like machine will seem ridiculous. A 'robot' is useless: it's some moving appendages and a tiny brain. A 'connected something' has access to 'every bit of information that exists and has ever existed' including 'every service in existence'. The 'Singularity' is made up of of every bit of code that you write. 'The Network is the Computer' - Sun Microsystems.
