Interesting paper. But it all depends on what level of intelligence you are
looking at. Learning science or medicine is not likely to be the first thing
an AGI tackles.
You also have to consider how an infant learns about the world. Clearly a
great deal of that at least is independent activity - e.g learning to crawl,
walk, discriminate objects, follow them visually, play with and experiment
with objects - and learning the physical properties of objects, learning the
rules of language etc.

Here is an interesting criticism of minimal guidance during instruction.

It contains some comments that relate to some of the discussions that have
been going on in this group but my interest is primarily in conjectures
about AGI programs that can learn and from that point of view this is very
interesting.
