Are you trying to imply that humans don’t need generalized knowledge, or that we’re not “rewarded” for having highly generalized knowledge?

If so, good luck walking to your kitchen this morning, knowing how to breathe, etc.

Do you need to learn Latin and marine biology to work the cashier in your local shop? Thats the point, humans go on with their jobs on very limited general knowledge just fine. LLMs have gotten this good because their dataset, pre training, and RL is larger than before
