If we knew how humans do it well enough to reproduce it, we’d probably skip straight to that. Everything in AI, though, is basically throwing ideas at the wall about how you might get closer to that, starting from very little knowledge of the mechanism and lots of anecdotes and subjective impressions about, but very little structured understanding of, even the behavior we want to mimic.
