Actually I think I use gradient descent in a lot of situations.
Consider the act of adding salt to chicken broth for example but I can quite easily think of dozens of other things.

Notice neither your or my comments connect any of this to learning.
After numerous times making chicken broth, something will change about your brain/body and we will say 'you learned how to season broth.' We have basically no idea what this process is, or whether it relies on gradient descent or anything else.
