Here are some real challenges in creating intelligent agents, but none of that has anything to do with the halting problem. The reason you latch on to the strawman that I belive neurons are touring machines is because you want to win. I on the other hand, don't care about winning. I want to be right. The best way to be right is to change your mind immediately as you notice the flaws in your thinking.
The halting problem, or some other theoretical and esoteric complexities of computer systems, have nothing to do with the fact that current LLMs are not simply stochastic parrots. This doesn't mean they are conscious. They can't be. Because they aren't even multi-modal yet for starters. But that has nothing to do with halts or qbits. I don't even know where that red herring came from. Lay of the Penrose juice. There is no evidence that mammalian brains are room temperature quantum annealers. Nor is there evidence We need to model complete biological neurons to do learning. What if it's just a question of scale? We don't know that it's not. If it is, we are in big trouble.
Your argument is akin to saying that Gödel's incompleteness theorems, are the reason you can't complete your maths homework. Yes, in the "limit", it's true. But practically, we both know that homework can be solved.
