"They are fundamentally not suited to thinking like we do" stays wrong nevertheless. They are fundamentally suited to everything not proven to be outside their modelling ability.

Okay so by the same logic can’t we say that we can implement human intelligence on a 90s era single core processor? Its instruction set is Turing complete! Now all that’s left is we just have to figure out how the brain works!

This doesn't seem to make much sense. Surely us being able to prove that something is outside their modelling ability doesn't affect whether it is or not. If I prove something true tomorrow, whatever I proved was also true today.

Or do we have a proof that everything beyond them has already been proved and there are no more proofs left to find?
