I asked an AI to explain what the singularity was as if I was 5 years old

>The singularity is a big word that means a time when machines become smarter than people. It might be a long time from now, but some people think that machines will be able to learn and think on their own, and they might even be able to help us do things that we can't do ourselves. Some people are scared of this happening, but other people think it might be really cool and helpful.

Here’s the one it generated for me:

The singularity is a time in the future when people and computers will become really smart and powerful. Some people think this will happen because computers will be able to learn and think for themselves, and they will be able to make themselves even smarter. This could make them a lot better at doing things than people, and they might be able to help us solve big problems. But some people are worried that if the computers become too smart, they might not want to help us or they might do things that we don't want them to do. So it's important to think about how we can make sure that the computers are always doing what's best for us.
