The coffee machine example is interesting. That's procedural memory in neuroscience. You don't memorize each machine. You abstract the steps. Grind, filter, add grounds, pour water. Then you adapt to any machine.

LLMs can't form procedural memory on their own. But you can build it outside the model. Store abstracted procedures, inject them when needed. That's closer to how the brain actually works than trying to retrain the model every time.
