If that's what you meant, then I agree with you.

What's the quote? "If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn’t".

Even though it doesn't need to be a single human doing all of it, our brains as existence proofs of the physical possibility, not of our own understanding.

Like I said, our brain proves that the way to solve the problem of 'how to get autonomous systems capable of non trivially complex behavior' is 'planetary ecosystems sustained by starlight based on self reproducing cellular nanobots'.

Companies selling ways around that apparatus to achieve intelligent behavior are selling you perpetual motion machines, or slavery. There has been zero 'AI' systems that don't depend on painstakingly collected and analyzed data beforehand.
