Im testing this argument out, but doesnt this apply to all tasks, not just language? I can learn to paint from scratch in what like 300 attempts? 1000 attempts? It takes far more examples to train a guided diffusion model. I'd struggle to believe that our brains are hardwired for painting

Could be something like:

1. hardwired for creating visual models of 3d / 2d space

2. hardwired for fine-grained hand motor movements.

So the learning is just combining those two skills into the ability to make the brush strokes needed to output the model onto paper.
