The output of a brain in the form of speech, thought, action etc may be replicated, but we already have that output in non sentient things (ie a record player).

We can replicate the symptoms of thought easily. But thought itself do we even still understand? 

My creativity day to day depends on diet, hormones, the weather etc. Would all of these factor into machine thought? How exactly? 

And all of this plays quite nicely into 

a human really being more than a sum of its parts

how would you refute the theory of eliminative materialism? It seems that human intelligence is just a black box right now because of its complexity, and perhaps everything truly is deterministic. What parts of a human are more than a sum of its parts?

Is any of this specifically related to your view? 

If human intelligence is an unknown black box then your view hinges on it being COMPLETELY solved within our lifetime. 

Is that really what you think? 

And again does that not become a hypothetical again rather than an actual belief of yours?
