    Sure, lots of people.

    As a PhD in ML, I get asked about the singularity all the time. My goto response is I am far more worried about a virus causing mass death than machines taking over the world. Fortunately, this is not that and rather a good warning and test for humanity.

    Lots of people will claim to have, it's more about positioning and marketing when they do.
