Then companies will just stick sensors on humans/cars/whatevers to gather information from the real world.
At the end of the day there is still a huge problem space of reality outside of humans that can be explored and distilled.
Sorry I guess it's not very clear from my post, the data points aren't what's missing it is the insights. An insight comes from the melding of a life of experiences, you can't just stick a bunch of sensors on humans and reach the same insights. The expression of latent space in our own brains you could think of it as. We're also not little one way input boxes, we run world sims in our brains all day long.
If you were to frame human brains as their own world models, Stack Overflow was a very lossy distillation from the brains of those insights.
I don't think you reach those insights by simply piping in data from the world (also that sounds expensive to do at a worthwhile scale)
