Read what I wrote. Machine intelligence is not a question of brickology. Intelligence is not something which can be engineered. It is a question of exploration of some reality, and it is a question of us being sufficiently inetlligent to recognize intelligence here and there along that exploration.

Are you saying we cannot build an intelligent machine?

Not provably so, unless you agree or bet, or consider, that universal machine, or Löbian machine, are already intelligent. But that intelligence is more discovered (in arithmetic) than a human construction per se, imo.




Or are you saying we can only build a machine capable of learning to be intelligent?

Yes, like in nature. The more a species is clever, the less the infant brain is hardwired, and the longer his learning period (infancy) appears to be. I see intelligence as an ability to learn and to change our mind. Adult is the phase when we apply "stupidly" the intelligence that we might have developed in the childhood. Childhood is when you are incompetent and intelligent. Adulthood is when you become competent and stupid, so to speak.
