I think we mostly recognise pattern of the world. We train ourselves by minimizing surprise, improving our predictive capabilities. The same is true of AI at the moment. The affordance is another pattern (tool) we train ourselves all our life with many tools: hammer, knife, cisors, tweezers and more complex ones: car, backhoe, computers. There is a lot of overlap from one tool to another one, most of the pattern transfer easily from one to another. That’s why we don’t have to retrain ourselves if we change the size of the knife we use, it’s a tiny adjustment done in the first few seconds of use.
