Brains are pretrained models, change my mind. (Not LLMs obviously, to be perfectly clear)

Brains continue learning from everything they do for as long as they're in use. Pretrained models are static after initial training.

If you are right, then I certainly cannot change your mind.

  • Show a snake to a 1yo and explain how the kid’s reaction is not pretrained. It’s called instinct in biology, but the idea is the same.
