AIs can't experience everything, but that doesn't mean they can't experience anything. You can have the experience of reading a book, no? And that might well teach you something about the world. Of note to me is that there is no theoretical reason why an AI couldn't have experiences of the real world. It's just that currently nobody has built interfaces that allow them to have that connection yet (for best learning you'd want sensors that allow it to sense the world and actuators that allow it to influnce the world - although you quickly get into considerations about whether it's a good idea to give AI's this power) > mostly able to find out correlations at best It may well be that human learning is just sophisticated iterated correlation finding.
