Hopefully you're only expressing disdain for people who treat it as a scientific inevitability, rather than a science fiction trope. As a sci-fi trope, it's pretty darn cool.

Yep, as a fun science-fiction idea...it's a lot of fun. I've enjoyed several novels where the Singularity is central to the plot. Fun to read about.

Mostly ridiculous to talk about in practice (imo).
