My personal explanation is how large ML models are stateless while the growing brain is a (very) stateful thing. Stateless imitation will never be able to fully replicate a stateful system. We evolved into having these brains that learn in stages, when the early years are responsible for core functions (walking, running, talking, etc). There's a lot of input (all the senses) that feeds learning, while in later years we mostly just take for granted whatever we learnt as children.
