There has to be a chain reaction for the proposed exponential growth.

Chatgpt3.5 would have had to be capable of creating chatgpt4, which itself is capable of creating a better chatgpt5.

So, no, (1) has not occurred yet.

We’re talking about igniting the atmosphere when no one has invented gunpowder yet.

That’s the singularity. Nobody thinks it had already occurred. You’re basically arguing that what I said might happen won’t happen until it happens.
