Reply to comment by dwarfarchist9001 in Singularity claims its first victim: the anime industry by Ok_Sea_6214

yeah but singularity could indeed happen right after AGI. Once it can self-improve the innovation rate could go crazy fast almost instanteneously.

I disagree. Super human intelligence could end up making great discoveries but they would not deploy overnight.

Manufacturing would require to repurpose or build new plants. Drugs and therapies would require human testing and regulatory approval. Advances in infrastructure, ground, air and sea transportation would also take time to deploy.

An intelligence explosion will not necessarily result in advances that humans are able to implement and even if they could, they will not magically transform day to day life overnight.
