Yeah Sowell’s books says that immediately speaking full sentences is a pretty common pattern, or at least not unheard of. I think Teller was in that category.
In fact this is one reason I’ve long been skeptical of the people who say you need “embodied cognition” to get AGI. Passive predictive (“self-supervised”) learning gets you pretty far by itself, such that you learned to speak complete sentences purely from predictive learning, not trial-and-error (or at least minimal trial-and-error).
Wow, neat!
