This kind of mockery is unproductive and doesn't constitute an actual argument against the position it describes.


Sadly there are plenty of arguments that boil down to "AI can't be reasoning because they don't do everything humans do", including things such as being embodied, "having consciousness" or some postulated quantum effects in the brain making humans special[0].

Drawing a line around the bag of things that humans do and calling that reasoning isn't all that conductive to discussion either because it's a rather large bag, some parts are idiosyncratic and others aren't well-defined.
