Computers aren’t people. AI “learning” is a metaphorical usage of that word. Human learning is a complex mystery we’ve barely begun to understand, whereas we know exactly what these computer systems are doing; though we use the word “learning” for both, it is a fundamentally different process. Conflating the two is fine for normal conversation, but for technical questions like this, it’s silly.

It’s perfectly consistent to decide that computers “learning” breaks the rules but human learning doesn’t, because they’re different things. Computer “learning” is a a new thing, and it’s a lot more like creating replicas than human learning is. I think we should treat it as such.
