On my 2nd child now, also soon to have 3rd in a few months. As I've grown older and learned more about deep learning tech, I've realized child starts out similar to untrained neural net for deep learning, and progresses in similar manner with training. For example, at 2 yrs old, child seems to know ABC's well, until you switch up the font or go cursive. Bottom line is more specifically realizing the child is basically a biological computer constantly seeking new information to update their model, has been interesting insight for me. I think it is a productive viewpoint for logically inclined nerds.
