Perhaps. At least OP has the courtesy to responsibly state the context as-is. Most don't, and most people don't question it.

Reply to I am a young teenager, and I have just learned about the concept of reaching singularity. What is the point of living anymore when this happens. by FriendlyDetective319
What's the point of living? The singularity isn't an inherent disaster, it's a wildcard. You live here, now, at the precipice of either greatness or great failure, near a possible ascension from humanity's failed, half-baked attempts at civilization. If all goes well, you may have the chance to spend the next 1,000,000 years exploring the galaxy, tweaking your cyborg body and/or relaxing in a lifelike yet highly customizable simulation - if humans manage to protect their collective interests from the domineering assholes & charlatans who would misuse those AI. Plenty of specialists are aware of the importance of the control problem and are working on solutions -- I'm inclined to believe they'll solve it with less trouble than is often assumed.
If I had to give a reason for anyone to keep living, it'd be to live long enough to know for a fact that the future is as horrible as you predict before giving up on it.
