Opinions vary on the timing of the arrival of the Singularity.<br>
If AGI achieves the ability to recursively improve itself, then an<br>
intelligence explosion could take place at exponential rates. It would<br>
only be a relatively short time, possibly only a few years, before the<br>
Singularity upheaval.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>My point is, replacing 95% of marketers is a far cry from recursive self-improvement. </div></div></div>
