Is no one else bothered by the fact that in the third installment they're talking about a synthetic organic war? The only representation we had of this all along was the geth/quarian conflict and in both games it was greatly sidelined,
There are other minor hints on secondary missions...
Still, the whole point avoid the technological singularity is at best subjective. Some people agree that such an event would doom organics, others don't, It would clearly change things, but does not need to lead to the grim conclusion of synthetics wiping out organics.
The fact that we have EDI and part of the Geth helping is a good example of that.
Here is also a very interesting parallel with DA world... you restrict AI for fear of what they can do (in Mass effect, the reapers wipe out space faring organic civilizations before they reach the singularity point to save all organic life of a POTENTIAL danger that nobody knows for sure will happen) On DA, the fear of what mages can do drive some to oppress them and thus forcing them to take more and more radical paths to get what freedoms others enjoy. In a way this is a lot of self fullfilling prophecies.
