I've never heard of this definition of the singularity. Wikipedia (for whatever that's worth) defines it as follows:
"The technological singularity—or simply the singularity[1]—is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization."
Humans could still be in the loop but the AI enables changes that exceed our ability to predict or contain them.
