Technological singularity is very precisely located at the point in time when technology can / could continue to exist and develop without humans. This is clearly not the case right now.The invention of LLMs is surely closer to that hypothetical point in time than the invention of steam machines or iron swords, but even nowadays technology is still very dependent on a working human society to continue functioning.
