Exponential increase on that scale would be astounding. But it wouldn't be a singularity. Otherwise the grows of human population(s) - which is over long ranges exponential basically for the same reason - would have to be called singularity too. The word 'singularity' should be reserved for poles. Points where the function goes to infinity or leaves previously defined ranges.
