That’s a magical requirement, dude. We as humans have to study for literal years on a nonstop feed of examples of other humans’ behavior in order to be a competent individual. Why are you saying that an AI shouldn’t have to go through that same kind of development? At least for them, it only has to happen once. With humans, every instance of the creature starts out flat out pants-on-head rtrdd.

I'm saying it's not the same kind of development and the results are different. A human works for a long time to grasp the letters and words at all, then extracts much more information from many orders of magnitude smaller data sets with weaker specific recall and much faster convergence for a given domain.
To be clear I think AGI is possible and that we've made a ton of progress, but I just don't think that scale is the only missing piece here.

Honestly, I have a very hard time believing that. Machine learning has had an almost trailblazing relationship with the neuroscience community for years now, and it’s pretty comical. The number of moments where neuroscientists discover a structure or pattern developed for machine learning years and years ago and and then finally admit “Oh yeah… I guess that is how we worked all along,” is too damn high to be mere coincidence.

The brain almost certainly doesn't use backpropgation. Liquid nets are a bit more like neurons than the current state of the art Most of this stuff is old theory refined with more compute and data.
These systems are hardly biologically plausible. Not that biological plausibility is a requirement for general intelligence.

Well your last line kinda makes the same point as the other person you are debating with? What if we are getting really close to actual intelligence, even though it is nothing like biological intelligence which is the only kind we know of
