Startup bets on video game data to bridge AI's spatial reasoning gap

General Intuition, a startup focused on advancing artificial general intelligence, believes video game data could be key to overcoming a major limitation of current AI models. Large language models like ChatGPT and Claude excel at processing text but struggle to understand how objects move through space and time. This spatial and temporal reasoning gap is seen as a critical barrier to achieving true general intelligence. The company's CEO argues that video games, which simulate physics and real-world movement, offer richer and more useful training data than standard internet text. General Intuition is building its approach around this gaming data as a foundation for more capable AI systems.
