Fairly recently, i stumbled upon this entire AI thing a bit more than a year ago, it was a few months before DALL-E 2 took off. I think someone randomly recommended this sub somehwere on reddit. Reading about the singularity and all that it entails was one of the most interresting things i've read in my life. At first it felt like a fantastical idea that sounded like some batshit sci-fi shenanigans, until i actually started reading up on those AI models and realised that this is real, scarily so.
