> words spoken by 110 billion people who ever lived, assuming 1B estimated words per human during their lifetime..comes out to 10 million times the size of GPT-4's training set

This assumption is slightly wrong direction, because not exist human who could consume much more than about 1B words during their lifetime. So humanity could not gain enhancement from just multiply words of one human by 100 billion. I think, correct estimation could be 1B words multiply by 100.

I think, current AI already achieved size need to become AGI, but to finish, probably need to change structure (but I'm not sure about this), and also need some additional multidimensional dataset, not just texts.

I might bet on 3D cinema, and/or on automobile targeting autopilot dataset, or something for real life humanoid robots solving typical human tasks, like fold shirt.
