When you say billions of years, you have to remember that change in DNA is glacial compared to computing; we're talking the equivalent of years or even decades for a single training iteration to occur. Deep learning models on the other hand experience millions of these in a matter of a month, and each iteration is exposed to what would take a human thousands of lifetimes to be exposed to.
