There's a lot of structure in how the brain is wired that is is baked in when you're born. The visual cortex is in the back, the hippocampus is in the middle, the frontal cortex is in the front. You do have unsupervised learning, but you start out with highly tuned hardware. Is that not some form of basic programming?
yeah, absolutely. But that's the power of millenia of evolutionary tuning, which we have to intelligence to design ourselves, removing the inefficiencies. That then drops the computational power required for equivalent behavior.
