AlphaGo took us from mediocre engines to outclassing the best human players in the world within a few short years. Ilya contributed to AlphaGo. What makes you so confident this can't happen with token prediction?

If solving chess already created the Singularity, why do we need token prediction? Why do we need computers that are better than humans at the game of token prediction?
