How are people so certain that there is something humanity does which is unmodelable?

There is an ancient hubris in this: the belief that there is something in humanity beyond physics, that we possess a soul or something else which defies mathematical/scientific comprehension.

I would like to believe in our specialness like this too, but I don't understand how someone can confidently proclaim that "AI can never capture" something humans do.

Whatever it is we think AI can never learn about us, is it unlearnable by humans too (i.e. inborn, instinctive)? Or is it learnable by humans, but inexplicable, unlearnable by a machine observing the behavior en masse?
