Is The Singularity Truly Near? A Deeper Look Into Synthetic Life Forms

Watching the new AMC series Humans and Mr. Robot, and considering my reaction to Ex Machina, I thought it might be worthwhile to investigate the basis for these stories.
The term “Singularity,” of course, means that there is only one thing, which resonates with mystical thinking but has found its way into science, mainly with respect to the thinking and book The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology by Ray Kurzweil.
Kurzweil defined the Technological Singularity as:
“… a future period during which the pace of technological change will be so rapid, its impact so deep, that human life will be irreversibly transformed. Although neither utopian nor dystopian, this epoch will transform the concepts that we rely on to give meaning to our lives, from our business models to the cycle of human life, including death itself.”
The assumption is that eventually, with sufficiently sophisticated programming and information, “synths” (synthetic life forms) would be conscious.
In the TV show Humans the “synths” begin as servants and robots and eventually become feeling creatures with a self and perhaps even a soul. I have only watched a few episodes.
What strikes me as problematic in all of these stories is the fudging of whether these synthetic humans are mechanical or biological. While they can have sex and touch (biology), they need to recharge electrically (in Humans), presumably because of their electronics.
