...but whether or not it's Turing's, it's still a valid position to take. It just strikes me as a trope of human history to identify the limits with our limits. Kind of like how we once thought we were the center of the universe.
Yeah, it seems unlikely that we'll ever watch a neural network perform an action that would yield an unprovable result, but given that we can't know either way I think it's more fun to think that it's at least possible.
