> if another human can recognize you on a photo, then a machine can be taught to do the same.

Sounds like:

If a human can do X then a machine can be taught to do the same.

Which is not necessarily true.

It's easy to say that a super generalised version of another person's claim isn't always true. But face recognition in static pictures works pretty well by now, and it would just take a little bit of digging to find examples where a trained model can do it better than a human.

What object in a picture can be detected just by a human but not a machine?

Humans are machines, so why wouldn't that be necessarily true?

Machines are designed, constructed, and built by humans.

If humans are "machines," then who built us?

I think it's debatable whether that's a necessary condition for something to be reasonably considered a machine.
