…and a baby doesn’t use the same architecture, not even close, as generative AIs. Babies are T3 systems, they aren’t simply systems which have rules on how to learn, they are systems which have rules on how to develop learning strategies that they then use to learn.

I’m not doubting, in the slightest, that AI can’t get there: It’s definitely possible. It’s just not possible with the current approaches, and the iterative refinements that “oh OpenAI is constantly coming up with new topologies” refers to is just more of the same. Show me a topology that can come up with topologies, then we’ll have a chance to break through the need for exponential amounts of data.
