>And it's not remotely the same kind of 'learning' I get by viewing lots of art. To be frank: the human brain is massively more efficient. Just STAGGERINGLY more efficient than any LLM. Just think of the energy consumption alone!
And that's part of why it's so effective. Using and reusing neural pathways, exploiting feedback loops, constantly adapting - this is part of how we're able to make much more sophisticated connections, and ultimately the self-reflection that marks self-consciousness>

> I am gonna restrain myself from going down a philosophy of mind rabbit hole. Forcibly. I do not have the spoons to spend on that right now. But the main thing I was getting to with the efficiency is how *few* other works of art I have needed to view or study in order to make art myself. And I have spent countless hours doing so. Visiting art museums. Drawing still lifes. Doodling. But I was able to do that without stealing because I don't need the vast libraries required for machine learning
