Ok but what if instead of being one kid and a drawing, it’s a species observed learning a new skills and we realize that species is feverishly learning all sorts of new skills? Most of those new skills are at a kindergarten level but a year ago they couldn’t do any of this?
How fast are they learning new skills? How fast are they improving at the skills they’ve learned? What’s the upper limit of their skill and expertise potential? What can’t they do ever vs what can’t they do now?
The kid with the stick figure drawing is almost certainly not the next Rembrandt. They have to eventually pick a lane.
AI is being deliberately trained with truckloads of R&D capital to learn new skills, as many as possible, and rush to supremacy in each of them.
