There's a fun short story by Ted Chiang where the first truly human like AI results from weird people who keep interacting with and teaching AI pets from a company that goes out of business. It touches a bit on this idea that humans get a lot of hands on time compared to AI.

Remember, humans need less examples but far more time. We also don’t start from a blank slate: we have a lot of machinery built through evolution available from conception. And when we learn later in life we have an immense amount of prebuilt knowledge and tools at our disposal. We still need months to learn to play the piano, and years to decades to perfect it.
AI training happens in minutes to hours. I am not sure we are even spending time researching algorithms that take years to run for AI training.
