Arguably, most everything anyone can encounter has happened to someone, and likely been written about.
Imagine a toddler learning from everything that has happened everywhere it happened all at once, as recorded in a journal.
Now, by contrast, a toddler learning from Discworld. Is that remotely enough? How much is enough?
Turns out you can look this up, as it has been graphed: it's rather more than Discworld to get these "emergent" properties. Just as it would be rather more than Discworld before a toddler without our everything journal could make sense of Discworld itself.
To your point, before reading Discworld, our toddler would need a great deal of huge chaotic training sets. Stands to reason, so might the LLM.
