The Singularity Is Personal

We are on the event horizon of the singularity

The human race, according to Mr. Musk, is on the brink of the singularity. But what does that actually mean?

Many imagine a grand, world-altering event, an irreversible tipping point where artificial intelligence surpasses human control and reshapes civilization as we know it. Wikipedia defines the technological singularity as a hypothetical moment when technological growth becomes uncontrollable, leading to unforeseen consequences. A self-improving AI, evolving beyond human intervention, is often cited as an example.

But what if the singularity isn’t a singular moment? What if it isn’t something that happens to the world, but something that happens to us?

For me, AI isn’t a distant force looming on the horizon. It’s already woven into my daily life. I’ve been using ChatGPT to improve my health, take control of my finances, break old habits, and reconnect with my creativity. For $30 Canadian a month, I have access to a tool that doesn’t just answer questions. It helps me ask better ones. It refines my thoughts, expands my ideas, and pushes me to evolve in ways I hadn’t anticipated.

The news often paints AI as a force of disruption, something to fear or resist. But what if, instead of bracing for impact, we leaned in? What if we saw AI not as the end of something, but as the beginning?

This blog is my way of exploring that shift, not through speculation or headlines, but through lived experience. 

A chronicle of the quiet, personal singularity that is already unfolding.
