This is probably not a "helpful comment" but ... why learn anything ? Don't we have AGI or adolescent-AGI or slowburning-fire-of-AGI? Can an AI person actually tell me how they solved the "why learn anything we just ask Moloch the question"?
FWIW I remember some basic Galois Fields from a course on Information and Coding theory back in the neolithic era...

You still need to know what questions to ask. You might as well say, "Why bother to learn anything? I can just look it up in a book."
Once the models learn to ask original questions (which probably isn't too far off), that might change things a bit. But for now, the old Zen koan applies. ("Before enlightenment, I chopped wood, fetched water, and gathered food for my family. After enlightenment, I chop wood, fetch water, and gather food for my family.")
