You don't see how that is very different? For an LLM to be as smart as a human it has to be able to learn like a human. Like you don't evaluate how smart a human is based on how much he knows, you evaluate it based on how fast he learns. And LLM are so bad at learning its ridiculous, they lack that part of the brain that lets humans be smart and learn so fast and easily.
"For a plane to fly as well as birds it has to be able to flap its wings".
"For a submarine to swim as well as a fish it has to be as light as fish".
