This demands the mastery of language which is a very high bar. Most animals haven't achieved this, so I think if you expect to get a computer to learn this way before being able to reason as well before you consider it having intelligence, you would also have consider most animals not having intelligence as well.

Then avoid language as medium. Many animals can learn from being shown an action once and apply it to themselves.
