They basically say that things like blocks world doesn't scale up, and
AI can't model intuition because 'real people' aren't thinking
machines. An appropriate rebuttal to these two self-styled

"In 3000 years, Philosophy has still not lived up to its promises and
there's no reason to think it ever will."
