There are lots and lots of different ways of "being human" - an infinity of ways, really, but most fall into broadly recognizeable patterns. The Humanities, properly understood, are the study of "being human" - which involves both the way you experience this (which, yeah, for most people is a learned behavior: it's hard to get outside your own perspective and evaluate your own experience), and also the way others' perspectives influence them.
There's no "just" about it. (It's like saying "Facebook is just a CRUD app, right?" - which from one point of view might be literally true, but's hardly relevant to any of the problems Meta has to solve.) Much like tech, humanities are a path of life-long learning, for which a college course of study can be (though isn't strictly necessary as) a helpful starting point, but is hardly adequate.
Efficient robots, though: yes. Many who work in tech have also internalized that mind-set.
