The singularity doesn't mean that we get an AGI Day with a big announcement from The People In Charge that intelligence has been solved once and for all. It simply means that the frequency of "this changes everything" and "rumored model X at lab Y passes benchmark Z at 110% in less-than-zero-shot" style posts increases monotonically for ever.

The clickbait and ensuing arguments will never end. That is our fate.

Once ASI exists we'll still have people arguing whether it's actually AGI or not.

Or it will just become seen as a category error. We don't often go around talking about "artificial general strength" or "artificial super-strength", even though it's easy to build a claw arm which can exert more force in any direction than any human can.
