So far every bit of intelligence we have made is all about brute force, none of it is elegant. It works great - definitely. And I grant that given enough speed, and search depth such a machine may come up with ideas.
And maybe that's what human level AI will end up being: Just search every possibility till you find the one that works. For everything, including speaking with a person.
But it just doesn't have that spark of true intelligence.
So I'll qualify my earlier statement, brute force AI might happen. But AI based on elegant intelligence will not.
Is there a difference? I think so. For some things it won't matter, but for others it will. Somehow human level intelligence manages to cut through immense search spaces and find the answer (like the game Go) - how does it do that? No one knows. But there is clearly something different about it compared to brute force intelligence.
