I think that is the wrong take. It's like asking what would happen if we teach language to the cerebellum (the part of your brain that coordinates movement). Our brain has plenty of specialist structures to deal with specific functions e.g the visual cortex, the amygdala for memory etc.

What I think is significant is that the same technology (artificial neural networks) lets us do so much (in different implementations) suggesting we are on the right track towards AGI.
