You misinterpret what is meant by "a gap between AI and human learning". The point isn't that they aren't similar enough or that they aren't as intelligent. The statement is specifically about "learning". Humans learn continuously and can devise new strategies for problem solving. Current AI, especially LLMs are just snapshots of a single strategy. LLMs do not learn at all -- they specifically have "knowledge cutoffs" even with all the tools available to them in a harness we still have to wait for new frontier models or new fine tuning for them to solve significantly new problems. A human does this continually -- learn regardless of intelligence.
