This is too early to call. NN acquires knowledge in a fundamentally different way than human.
For example, to have a reasonable understanding of a certain language, like producing a sample of grammatically correct utterance, it definitely won't require a human to read the amount of text of Wikipedia, let alone multiple times.
- nobody271 8y agoYou're right but to be fair an individual human sits at the very top of billions of years of evolution. We don't have to have to read Wikipedia personally because most of the work was done by evolution, through our ancestors. We're really just hosts for our genetic code. It's the star of the show, not us.
