"even partially implementing something like this, would require multi-year effort with dozens of engineers at minimum and will cost millions of dollars just for training"

Unfortunately, that means that's also the bar for being able to utter the words "IMPLEMENTING THIS IN A MACHINE WILL ENABLE ARTIFICIAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE" and being taken seriously. In fact the bar is even higher than that, since merely meeting the criteria you lay out is still no guarantee of success, it is merely an absolute minimum.

The fact that that is a high bar means simply that; it's a high bar. It's not a bar we lower just because it's really hard.
