Reply to comment by 7ECA in How close are we to singularity? Data from MT says very close! by sigul77

Communicating would naturally be a massive piece of of singularity. You can be bad at math, not know history and even be illogical (not reason well) but having the ability to translate one’s communication given countless contexts and have a good conversation would be a big win towards singularity or “consciousness”. None of us humans consciously think without language.

Except the fundamental requirement of the singularity is an AI that can write a better version of itself. If it does that infinitely then the end result is an AGI that would eclipse anything a human can do. The problem is what we define "better" as, because any small bias could get dramatically amplified into something dangerous.
