    Here is an interesting related read (author is a researcher at OpenAI): Building AGI Using Language Models (2020) — https://bmk.sh/2020/08/17/Building-AGI-Using-Language-Models... It makes the case that perfecting language prediction might be the path to AGI — because to predict language well, you have to understand the world it describes.
