@GaryMarcus @ChrisPainterYup I'd also love to hear a response on this; I don't understand the model where "can learn with sample efficiency and speed of 10 year old" is more than ~weeks before strongly superhuman AI, and it's entirely plausible it happens after hitting superhuman capabilities instead.

If AIs could learn as efficiently as a bright 10 year old child, then shortly after this point AIs would likely be generally superhuman via learning on more data and compute than a human can.

So, I don't expect human level learning and sample efficiency until very powerful AI.

If we were 2 years from some kind of singularity-like AGI, I would expect current AI to be able to
