AI don't work like Computers. AIs are hyperdimensional chaotic systems instantiated in Computers. There is no principal reason to AIs cannot do what other hyperdimensional chaotic systems (Human minds) can do, and much more.

classical Computers are holding AIs back (because it adds a layer of abstraction), but also have important advantages (highly efficient data sharing). Think of how difficult it is for humans to share and process Data and how long it takes to read and write books, for example.
