Do you mean that human intelligence is not general enough to recreate functions of existing physical structure that implements general intelligence?

I'm just not convinced humans are just biological computers and nothing more. The fact that we experience qualia and seemingly have free will leads me to believe there is some extra "special sauce" that makes it impossible for a classical computer to replicate.

Maybe someday it will be possible if we can solve the hard problem of consciousness in conjunction with quantum computing, etc.
