> Hubert Dreyfus, who argued that computers, who have no body, no childhood and no cultural practice, could not acquire intelligence at all. That is absolutely fantastically, majestically myopic.

Probably? If nothing else it's possible (with enough computing) to simulate a human at the molecular level. You don't need to go any deeper in the physics than electromagnetism, and even that's maybe overkill. I don't think you can argue against that without dipping into quantum mysticism.
