My point in selecting the IBM 7080 autocoder was just this. There are

write a 7080 autocoder program?
If not, the AI is just a fancy regurgitation machine.

I don't doubt that eventually these things
will learn how to reason
to whatever degree.
Science still has no real idea how we think. Or how we learn. Or much
else about the actual functioning of the brain. Until they do how can
anyone think they can teach a computer, that real is as dumb as a rock
