What if the human mind is not computable? Why does no one test this hypothesis instead of throwing billions of dollars and our brightest minds against an unsubstantiated hypothesis? Why are we so unscientific in testing assumptions when it comes to AI? It is not difficult. I've thought of tests myself. But, the closest I've seen in academic literature is Penrose' microtubules and silly hypercomputation. Nothing with empirical tests. I blame materialistic bias, since if materialism is true then the human mind must be a computation. But, materialism does not need to be true in order to have empirical tests whether the mind is computable.
