That’s an arbitrary line to make though. The human brain starts with a general architecture that has been gone through billions and trillions of generations of evolutionary training, before being fine tuned in a single individual over decades, and then you did a little bit of fine tuning and few shot at the end and claim that is comparable to the entire training of a LLM from scratch? Not to mention the many more orders of magnitude of neurons that a human brain has. I could equally argue that an LLM takes zero training, since we have ALREADY trained models and I can just copy the model and run it and get a new “brain” performing a task, instead of taking decades of training to get there.
Even your statement about programming skills is debatable, it depends on how you measure programming skill. They certainly are faster at it, and they know more computer languages than most people have even heard of. In fact, human programming strength seems to be more about general logic and planning skills over programming-specific skills, both things where the bulk of training happened evolutionarily and more generally over the course of a life.
The truth is, the two are not directly comparable. They are completely different architectures, at completely different scales, with entirely different strengths and weaknesses.
