As an aside, in order to be able to speculate about how close we are to AGI, with neural networks or any other technique, it is important to first unerstand the state of the art in AI.

As usual, I'll recommend the classic AI textbook, "AI - A modern approach" by Russel and Norvig:

Are you really under attack for recommending the standard textbook?

This website's community has got peculiar more and more over the last 3-5 years and not in a positive way. There were the assholes of yesteryear but even they seemed like more sincere assholes than present day assholes.

I'm guessing my comment was construed as being patronising. I can't imagine anyone would downvote a recommendation to read Russel & Norvig. It's a good book.
