I am not sure what this statement is supposed to mean, actually.
Of course, an AI system has to be a self-organizing learning system, in
which not all details of the system's RAM-state are specified by the
programmers
But I suspect you mean something stronger than that

It seems to me that, because YOU don't understand how to program real AI,
you're asserting that no one does.
I don't see any rational argument presented in your message, just a strong
opinion that building AI is too hard for humans.

All right, your tone has gotten sufficiently irritating that I won't waste
any more time replying to the numerous further glib and incorrect points in
your message.
Back to work...
