Yes, but you have to show that self-improvement is automatic. That
is, this process of self-improvement can continue without human
intervention.
This could easily be the crux of the thread*.
I don't know where or with whom this guy has ever worked, but in my
experience, improvements continue only to the point at which one
fails to take people out of the loop...
AN Whitehead:
It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and
by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should
cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise
opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number
of important operations which we can perform without thinking about
them. Operations of thought are like cavalry charges in a battle--
they are strictly limited in number, they require fresh horses, and
must only be made at decisive moments.

"singularity" may not be the most interesting concept for a mailing
list, but "shenanigans" are a waste of bandwidth.
