> The comparison is weird as we don't think with the Genome

The genome determines how your brain learns, so yeah we do. We don't solve short easy tasks via learning, no, but longer tasks that involves learning involves our DNA.



> longer tasks that involves learning involves our DNA

Longer tasks that involve learning also involve caloric consumption and respiration, that doesn't mean we think with the sun and the air.


No. Not in any way, no.

Learning is a physical process in which neurons form new connections to one another. It has nothing to do with DNA.

This is like measuring LLM performance based on CPU microcode size. Completely nonsense.


Learning also happens on the species level. The species "learns" (thru natural selection) which genes produces brain structures that lead to survival and reproduction.
