You have some interesting points, though as far as AI being limited to its architecture, are humans not also limited to architecture? After all, thoughts are just complex systems of neurons firing off at each other. Obviously right now computers are much cruder than humans, though technological advancement is exponential. I think what separates humans from computers in the present day is that humans have the ability to learn, as well as to respond to outside stimuli, process that outside stimuli, and come to independent conclusions. But as far as learning goes, we already have the foundations for it, and I really don't think it will be that long before computers can truly learn. There's one company, DeepMind Technologies, that is actively right now advancing in this field by using neuroscience (I don't understand the logistics of how that works, though, or how they do it). They actually make programs that can literally learn how to play video games without altering the programs code to do so, by allowing the program to write its own code.

I got a little off topic, but its very interesting stuff
