The internet is how much more advanced today than it was 30 years ago? Completely night and day. 

And the internet can't really "think" or self improve itself, all internet advancement has come because of humans. 

An AI can't really think and improve itself to any great degree today perhaps ... but can you guarantee that for the next 15 years? 20 years? 30 years? 40 years? 50 years? Once it can do that, how much more rapidly could it develop from that point? We all know how laughably basic computers from 50 years ago looked like. 

I am not arguing against there eventually being AI's that can think and self-improve. I am arguing against the idea that there will be a single A.I (aka singleton) that does this. I am also arguing that currently what is being called "AI" and iterated upon doesn't do this and nobody knows how to make one that can. We'll have many advancements and much automation before we do know how to create one. And if we create one, we likely will create many all with different interests, identities, and capacities. 

Ultimately I don't think it even matters, whether it's one AI or different strands of it, eventually there likely will be "one" that outstrips the others and can either do what the other AI models can or it can be taught to quickly learn everything they know. 

I mean if I was an AI developer and I developed the besteststest AI ever for say ... car driving, once it's mastered that, what do you think it going to be the next thought in my mind. "Hmmm ... maybe now it can do this". And then I click on an article seeing a competitors AI can not only drive cars but also do 20 other things. 

It's not terribly hard to see how this could converge in a hurry.
