So much of that data is totally useless though. Most of the data we get is visual and I would argue that visual data is some of the least useful data (with respect to volume). Think about the amount of time we're looking at blank colours with nothing to learn from. Once you've seen one wall, one chair, one table etc, there's not much left to know about those things. An encyclopedia though for example is much less data than a few hours of high res video of clouds passing by yet clearly its orders of magnitude information rich.

With different arrangements. And you see the commonalities and differences. You poke it. prod it. Hit it. Break it. You listen to it. This is the basis for 'common sense' and I’m pretty sure everything else needs that as the foundation. Go watch a child learning and you'll see a hell of a lot of this going on. They want to play with the same thing over and over and over again. They want to watch the same movie over and over and over again. Or the same song over and over and over and over and over again.
