This is like someone arguing, in 1910, that the fact that adding machines
can't play chess is evidence that "the a basic AI assumption that humans are
just machines is on the wrong track." More likely, it's evidence that the
machines aren't well-programmed for this task. What will you say if, in a
few years, machines are able to recognize faces easily?
