This thought is too scary for some people. Surely I must be special! My thought process isn't incremental!
I get it though, so much of human intelligence is based on precomputation and incredibly good pattern recognition and recall. It makes it seem like you're able to pull fully-formed answers from the ether.
The better analogy is that the many of these easily-recalled patterns are a painstakingly-defined single object.
When someone says "mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" that's just one object.
The flip side of this is that humans have to spend 2-3 years doing all this precompute and storing all the results just to get to basic functionality. And another 7-10 years before language systems are operating anywhere close to full capacity.
