Everyone misses the technical goal of Google size AI.
Fill the gradient of machine states, then prune for correctness and utility.
That is not to say it's a good goal. But at the end of the day every program is electrical states in a machine. Fill machine, like search, see which ones are required to produce the most popular types of outputs, prune the rest.
Hint to syntax fans among programmers; most people will not be asking the machine to output Python or Elixir. Most will ask for movies, music, games. Bake the states needed to render and prune that geometry and color as needed. That geometry will include text shapes eventually too, enabling pruning away all the existing token systems like Unicode and ANSI. Storing state in strings is being deprecated.
Language is merely one user interface to reality. Grasp of it does not make one "more human" or in touch with the universe or yadda yadda. Such argument is pretentious attention seeking of those educated in a particular language. Look at them! ...recreating grammatically correct sentences per the rules of the language. Never before seen! Wow wow wow
Look at all the software written, all the books and themes within. Grasp of language these days is as novel an outcome as going to the grocery store, using a toilet.
