The objective was to make a machine that could beat anybody at chess. Nobody on the Alpha Zero team believes Alpha Zero is an example of general AI. Teaching a system to understand a complex system is a necessary subcomponent of general intelligence.

This is my point. Weak AI is not a component of general AI. A chess game futhers the project zero amount.
General intelligence is a way of being embedded in an environment; is the mechanism of furnishing narrow intelligence with content.
It is not a formal challenge, it's at best an engineering one. And a bioengineering one, in my view.
