I agree a true general AI will probably be fairly different on computer than human. Although I want to mention that humans can learn from one example is mostly because we already have a large a priori from our life experience. We spend years learning how to talk, communicate, write and read. Through which we have built very structured symbolic logic system, which is _learnt_.

A example of this would be mathematics. If a person is never taught mathematics, she/he are only limited to basic math operations. It would take the person years of learning and practice in order to comprehend a mathematical literature. Once we have a symbolic logic network built for a certain aspect of our life, we can rapidly retrieve information based on previous logical patterns, thus allowing us to learn from one example.
