>AI fundamentally just follows algorithms. Human brains can actually create algorithms.
I think you are confusing knowledge systems with machine learning. The whole point of machine learning is that new things are learned automatically - for example algortithms. That's why, for example, neural networks come up with solutions to problems, no human has ever thought about.
>writing most useful algorithms requires a level of consciousness
No, consciousness, is, as far as we know, not required for anything.
>what is going on there is that a human has written instructions on how to write instructions, which the computer then follows
No. That's not what machine learning is at all. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
>and that therefore computers can do everything human brains can with the proper programming
Yes, they can. A NOR-Gate alone is functionally complete. Linking up NOR-Gates yields any functionality whatsoever. You are confusing the architecture with the functionality. A peace of hardware doesn't need to be optimized for a program in order to be able to run that program. You could, for example, build a copy of the brain to simulate it, but you could also simulate it using a computer - with serial computations rather than parallel ones. If you had ever seen a university from the inside, you'd know how to separate those different layers.
