Ahh I can see why you might take objection to that - Singularity can be a vague term. Nonetheless, it does describe a range of future scenarios which I do believe there is sufficient evidence to warrant as quite possible, without considering specifics - it's actually good in this case to use a term that wraps a diverse set of related futures together.

I wouldn't have used it, because the term "singularity" makes me think of a sign saying "STOP: No humans beyond this point."
