unlearnable

Impossible to master

Unlearnable describes something that cannot be learned or mastered, whether due to inherent difficulty, poor instruction, or the learner's limitations.

A skill might seem unlearnable until the right teacher comes along.

In machine learning, unlearnable examples are data points deliberately corrupted to prevent AI models from extracting useful patterns—a defense against unauthorized training on protected content.
