The Singularity Effect
The A.I. Effect describes a human cognitive bias to discount improvements made in the science of Artificial Intelligence. Problems that in the past that were seen as extremely difficult, or intractable, are now seen in retrospect as having obvious solutions which no longer need to be described in terms of artificial intelligence.

And the OnSingularity effect, which is still theoretical as it's too small to be measured, describes the rush of traffic that hits an article when it's posted on OnSingularity ;)

There is a measurable OnSingularity effect.....Though it is small, it will hopefully grow exponentially :).
