It is what I meant by "the singularity". AIs that are so intelligent that they don't need humans, including when it comes to building better AIs. The idea is that they get in a runaway self-improving cycle and what they do after that and the place of humanity is left to the imagination.
I don't believe in the singularity, but if we get to the point where AIs don't need human programmers anymore, things are going to get... interesting.
