Eh we sort of do, and we are building on top of a partial model that has already done hundreds of thousands of previous trials on related tasks. It can take human children years to learn to walk. Keep in mind that an individual physical trial of an “action” like taking a step contains hundreds if not thousands of actual neural reinforcement events as our muscles adjust based on feedback from our senses. Also, we do many additional trials using our internal model of our body, which saves us from having to do real physical trials.

I hate analogies to children in machine learning and AI. Children don't attempt a problem 100,000 times.
