> 1. For "the singularity" to happen, we probably need something more to happen than just chatGPT to ingest more data or use more processing power.

It's not actually clear what "the singularity" is? Is it something running out of control or it's still controllable? There is a blurry line. People are afraid because they think it's sort of uncontrollable explosion.

The second question is about AGI. What is it? Is it something 'alive' or just a generic AI calculator with no 'creature' features. Like self preservation at least.

I think our view of these two things will change soon as we get a close up picture. Pretty much like Turing test doesn't look great anymore. As even dumb chatbots can pass.
