Perhaps I'm ill informed on this but how come no one talks about applying the idea of a technological singularity to humans though genetic engineering? We already have the tools to make rather significant changes to dna, we aren't there yet completely but we can already make small changes to the human body with gene therapy, and if this trend continues, soon we should be able to improve our very minds, technically we have already passed this "singularity" since we are intelligent organisms that are smart enough to change ourselves, it's just gonna take us some time to implement this process of improving our brains due to how long it takes each new generation of bright minds to mature and pick up the reigns after the last unlike an ai which is virtually immortal, but once we make even a small change shouldn't it just snowball from there the same way an ai who learns to improve itself would?
