A thread questions whether the Singularity is just an AGI narrative illusion

- The post frames a question about whether the Singularity actually exists.
- It argues that “general intelligence” may be a narrative illusion rather than a single transferable faculty.
- The quote being discussed also references Sam Altman describing a future where powerful systems can grant almost any wish, with human operators deciding the first one “for humanity.”
- Overall, it is a reflection on how AGI is talked about as a story, not a concrete milestone.
