THE SINGULARITY



The technological singularity takes place when the human race succeeds in creating an A.I being more intelligent than any human could ever be. In this case, it is called Alpha.

Since the act of creating Artificial Intelligence is a task that benefits directly from the intelligence level of the creator, this more-intelligent-than-men being would surely be faster and more efficient at creating his own A.I being; we will call him Beta.

This second generation being would too be better than its predecessor, and could in turn create a third one, Gamma, who is even more powerful, and so on.

As capacity increases, the median generation time decreases, resulting in an exponential rate of evolution that quickly becomes asymptotic, at which point it becomes difficult to speculate further. No one knows what Omega will bring.

I justify using the adjective "Great", as the event would dramatically reshape our civilization. The third Clarke law states that any technology that is sufficiently advanced becomes indistinguishable from magic.

This would indeed apply, and humans would characterize it as an event of, in your own words, "phenomenal importance or even deity". Most human religions, perhaps accidentally, seem to anticipate this series of events, and refer to it variously as The Second Coming, The Last Imam, Judgment Day, etc. It is in this vein that programmer F.F gave me the initials T L P, for "The Last Prophet".
