Ad deep learning models have no understanding of the underlying data because they are either classification or regression.

Well the humans are doing classification too so I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean.
It's true that this model doesn't know anything outside its training dataset, but that's a different objection.
It's an interesting question as to if there is anything humans do that isn't just classification or regression (and of course regression is just classification over an infinite set where we assign labels to certain ranges and then select the highest probability density).
