Nothing in the history or current path of AI would suggest that human communication can be represented by an algorithm. Every attempt to program human communication results in stilted, unnatural prose that must be carefully curated and edited. Even those tools only work in limited contexts with huge training sets of data.

There is nothing about a brute-force machine learning algorithm that describes human language. It's like saying that a monkey could build a brick building because he was able to accidentally stack two bricks on each other by flinging bricks around. That does not show any understanding of the process of building anymore than ML algorithms show any understanding of the meaning of speech.
