Humans seem to do a million different things. And all of them were kids growing into adults and do by learning to do things.
Isn't that good enough if a machine did just that - ready to learn if taught, to be classified as being generally intelligent ? |

I think approximately nobody is studying AI with the end goal of making a machine that is (say) as smart as a dog. It is a good intermediate goal but the hope has always been to surpass humans. If we want more doglike intelligences we can just breed more dogs.
Generally intelligent is only the start, and not a very interesting part. Animals can obviously learn things and they are "generally intelligent", but most are not all that bright. We are not all that clear on why either. Elephants have larger brains than us, so clearly it's not raw size but rather the complexity of the brain that makes us so much smarter. Which parts of brain complexity matter and which are accidents of evolution is almost entirely unknown.
