But the whole reason it's called "the singularity" is because the "AI" improving itself is supposed to already be smarter than us, and better able to make those improvements. Thus, improvement builds on itself exponentially and we very quickly see massive changes, leading to huge new advances in science and technology. It's not a singularity if we just get LLMs spitting out code to improve LLMs that's approximately what we could have done, just 40% faster and with 50% more bugs.
