> There's probably some sort of way to make a system that can learn from very few examples and at a very short time, like we do ourselves. Maybe. I wonder if we can pick up identifying platypus with only a couple of examples, because we spent a long time identifying bird or cat as a toddler. We have a complicated model of the world, and we can take short cuts, because we just identify the differences compared to stuff we already know. You may be right, no one knows for sure. I think it's one of those P = NP kinda problems. Lots of clever people have thought about it for years. Maybe there's a trick. It seems unlikely there's a trick though. Absence of evidence starts to become evidence of absence.
