But that's partly because as people age, their brains get less flexible and open to learning new things. There's already been some work on fixing that specifically.

This happens with neural nets as well. As they progress in their training, epoch by epoch, accuracy plateaus. There is always a tradeoff between keeping on learning and applying knowledge. Companies have the same dilemma between research and production - if you keep researching too much, you never get to produce anything, and vice-versa.
