This is a trick question. It's like asking what taste does the colour purple have?
A
technological singularity is, by definition, an impossible thing to
truly understand prior to the event because it will be so alien to
our present experience that we wouldn't be able to recognise it if it
came up and bit us on the backside.
However,
one movie that shows the concept of true singularity the best has to
be Demon Seed.
It
has an independently thinking, super intelligent computer that
crosses the boundary between human intelligence and artificial
intelligence and in the end merges with humanity to create an
entirely new form of life.
No
other film comes remotely close
I
recommend the trailer. It has to be the most misleading trailer I
have ever seen:
What
do others get wrong?
- That we will be replaced like the Model T eg Terminator, Thorbin Project
- That our humanity will somehow outsmart a better, faster, bigger intelligence - usually by our illogic or emotions as in Star Trek's "I, Mudd" eg Transcendence, Cyborg 2
