If the first paragraph is correct and the crux of his argument is that the brain is not computable, then there's nothing to see here. Once you assume that, then of course you don't think it can be simulated. That this further devolves into meandering about consciousness just says to me that even at the point where Kurzweil's singularity has already happened, he wouldn't call it AI. Yes - if you take it as an axiom that humans have special sauce that you can't reproduce with an algorithm, AI is impossible.
