No, humans are not a series of band-aid patches where we learn facts in isolation. A human can reason, and when exposed to novel situations figure out a path forward. You don't need to tell a human how many rs are in "strawberry"; as long as they know what the letter r is they can count it in any word you choose to give them. As proven time and time again, LLMs can't do this. The embarrassing failure of Claude to figure out how to play Pokemon a year or so ago is a good example. You could hand a five year old human a Gameboy with Pokemon in it, and he could figure out how to move around and do the basics. He wouldn't be very good, but he would figure it out as he goes. Claude couldn't figure out to stop going in and out of a building. LLMs, usefulness aside, have repeatedly shown themselves to have zero intelligence.

I was referring not to individual learning ability but to natural selection and evolutionary pressure, which IMO is easy to describe as a band-aid patch that takes a generation or more to apply.
