> mean, "not enough data" is an explanation why neural networks can't do a bunch of things... One of the things humans are really good at is learning things from a few examples

I dispute the search space problem for something like folding clothes. Like a lot of human actions in space, folding clothes and other motor tasks are hierarchical sequences of smaller tasks that are strung together, similar to a sentence or paragraph of text.

We can probably learn things from each other from few examples because we are leaning on a large library of subtasks that all have learned or which are innate, and the actual novel learning of sequencing and ordering is relatively small to get to the new reward.

I expect soon we'll get AIs that have part of their training be unsupervised rl in a physics simulation, if it's not being done already.
