Four hours to learn on a high speed computer is what millions upon millions of games? Thousands of human lifetimes lived out in four hours. The four hours to learn thing is fake news and distorts the reality of how many games and trials the machine actually went through.
I don't think so. It seems to me that the whole point of AI is how many real world human years it saves by mastering and executing things fast. The fact that it can learn this well at all, after any amount of time, makes it impressive, and the fact that it learns quickly makes it all the more useful.
I disagree. I think people understand that computers are fast, so millions of games is implied in "four hours." The fact that it only took that much time, starting from nothing, is still incredibly impressive.
How fast can you exchange and learn information? How fast can you figure things out and then teach them to other humans around you?
Your processes don't scale well, beyond the biological scaling that your body has developed via evolution in the last 4 billion years. Digital processes do.
