I don’t see the problem. Your learning algorithm doesn’t have to be “very” complicated. It has to work. Machine learning models don’t consist of million lines of code. I do see the problem where one might expect evolution not to be very good at doing that compression, but I find the argument that there would actually be lots of bits needed very unconvincing.
A lot of the human genome does biochemical stuff like ATP synthesis. These genes, we share with bananas. A fair bit goes into hands, etc. The number of genes needed to encode the human brain is fairly small. The file size of GPT3 code is also small.

Last time I checked, you could not teach a banana basic arithmetic. This works for most humans, so obviously evolution did lots of leg work there.
