Isn’t his argument basically that humans suck at estimating exponential growth, tending to be biased towards a linear expectation?

Wait but why had a nice article series digging a bit deeper into that https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revol...

It's kind of funny since I would say the singularity is a result of being bad at estimating exponential growth, since all exponential growth eventually hits some limiting factor and slows down, like a sigmoid.
