And even if something capable of all the aspects of human cognition were created with no internal resemblance to cognition, so what, it still works. There's a reason it's called "artificial" intelligence, not "natural intelligence identical to human brains except in silicon instead of neurons".
It's like when the wheel was invented saying it's not "true" transportation because it doesn't involve legs, or when the phone wasn't invented that it isn't "true" communication because you don't see the other person's mouth or physical expressions.
I agree that you shouldn't dismiss an airplane by the fact that it doesn't flap its wings, but we also don't call them artificial birds. The debate is around the word 'intelligence', which is misleading.
