Note that humans do come with different types of 'input streams':
Hit my knee in the right spot, and I'll kick my leg, no choice about it. Scream at me to LIFT MY EFFING LEG (in a language I do understand), and I may or may not do so. Write the same thing on a piece of paper, and I generally won't (unless there is some very specific context).
With AI systems, we have the benefit that the distinction between such pathways is in principle under our control.
