I think you misinterpret my statement, as I too believe that human intelligence is based on the same principles as are being exploited in generative AI. I think there is ample evidence to support that viewpoint, even adversarial images that affect humans in the same way (to a lesser extent) as they do classifiers.

I do not believe there is anything special about human intelligence, mostly just that it embodies more complexity than we currently have access to in our training data, and perhaps the hardware required might be expensive, or maybe not really.

Interactive / bootstrapping learning is still something we will need to figure out.
