It’s worth pointing out that you are not making a fair comparison when you compare the amount of data that a NN must parse to that of an individual when learning a specific new concept. A human brain is not just trained on their own lived experiences, but also the experiences of all their ancestors via the process of evolution, in addition to years and decades of general training and fine tuning. You specifically mention Stable Diffusion, but SD has an analogue to the learning of an individual, textual inversion, which can adapt the NN to express new concepts with as few as a handful of examples.
