Compared to the amount of data needed to train an even remotely impressive 'AI' model , that is not even AGI and hallucinates on a regular basis ? On the contrary, it seems to me that humans and their children are hugely efficient.

Does a child remotely know as much as ChatGPT? Is it able to reason remotely as well?

I'd say the kid knows more about the world than ChatGPT, yes. For starters, the kid has representations of concepts such as 'blue color' because eyes... ChatGPT can answer difficult questions for sure, but overall I'd say it's much more specialized and limited than a kid. However, I also think that's mostly comparing apples and oranges, and that one's judgement about that is very personal. So, in the end I don't know.

A baby learns to walk and talk in 1 year. Compared to the number of PHDs and compute training these models, the baby is so far ahead in efficiency I marvel way more at their pace.
