You're not wrong. It's an inferior equivalent, but would you not say she learns with each note she makes, hampered though she is?

    Yes I would say that she temporarily learns something while reading the notes. And she stores it in short-term memory.

    The difference with AI though is that it has to re-read the same note again and again after each question you ask it. It does not keep things in "memory" from your previous conversations. It reads it again before answering you.

    That is why context length matters and is important in LLMs. There's a huge difference between talking to an AI with 10k in context length and 1mil in context length. You can try it yourself using Llama.cpp and running LLMs locally.
