It's interesting to hear Neil Degrass Tyson and Elon Musk talking about how the singularity would occur way faster than you'd think. Cause it's true. But also this guy has a point because if you know anything about machine learning and artificial intelligence, it's not really like the movies at all. It's just stupid algorithms doing weighted probability calculations. The machines are still "dead". It's not like their thinking or anything.
