I think our intelligence has 2 components, our conscious selves that are good at formal reasoning and meaning making, and a massive neural network that is good at statistical inference. I suspect the reason we need less training data for learning than dall-e is because our conscious selves can tease out the formal relationships and models, rather than relying purely on inference which requires enough datapoints.
