It's not at all about AI becoming "more complex" or in any way "simulating" the human brain. It's about the increase of capabilities of AI not only being exponential, (it is) but then the RATE of the increase itself, becoming exponential. THAT is the Singularity.

You don't know that you don't know and you haven't even the slightest modicum of knowledge of the subject material, to have anything resembling a informed opinion about it.

It IS happening and it's been mathematically quantified. The moment that the rate of increase itself becomes exponential, you have reached the Singularity.

I get that. The singularity is not necessarily impossible, but my point is that it isn't going to happen soon because it is very hard to build an AI that will pick up that exponential growth. Brain uploading isn't going to happen for a long time.
