If you want them to do something, you need to give them extremely specific instructions. Imagine learning to kick a football. You could probably learn this by seeing a few examples of how your friends do it. If you want a computer to do this, you would need to tell it exactly how to move every single muscle fiber. Instead of doing this, we just give the computer lots of examples, and tell it to figure it out itself.
