It’s a fair point, but I’ve seen others do the math, and the training sets are bigger than the amount of data human senses could deliver by, say, age 3, by something like 1000x.
For example, each time you move your eyes and then focus, that’s one new “clear” image. Your brain isn’t really getting a video stream. And only the fovea area is high-res. So you can calculate how many times a 3 year old child could have moved their eyes since birth, and it’s WAY lower than the 10 billon images that the big models are trained on, etc.
The brain is definitely doing something super efficient. Once we figure out what, AI performance will just explode even further.
