singularity's model is quite confusing. it is suggesting that individuals will contribute AI services which in turn will be used as a paid up model. but this means that singularity is going to build their own blockchain instead of running on ethereum as it is doing right now. you see such a community will be useful only if there AI companies that consume these services and offer them in turn to customers or consumers. so singularity wants to be a AI network which will help run businesses. 

what this accomplishes is that now AI services will be in the hands of Singularity rather than Google or Facebook, right?

the reason bigger companies are adopting AI is because they already have the consumer install base and they need AI to service them (or make more money if you prefer that reasoning). 

So SIngularity needs companies who already have an install base of consumers to run on them so that their AI services are profitable. this essentially means companies who have consumers already but dont want to give them up to a google or facebook or amazon.  seems like a long ride to me.

the ordinary consumer does not care whether he is served by AI or not. that is really the company's decision.

i think you are already seeing the problem with steemit. consumers and creators are the same and that is a problem. there is no great incentive for one creator to reward another except for altruism or quid pro quo. 

transpose this to AI services and the divide becomes more wider.
