Les deux sont bêtes!
Une expression qui ne veut rien dire…
A variant of Lady Lovelace’s objection states that a machine can ‘never do anything really new’. [..] A better variant of the objection says that a machine can never ‘take us by surprise’.[…] Machines take me by surprise with great frequency. This is largely because I do not do sufficient calculation to decide what to expect them to do, or rather because, although I do a calculation, I do it in a hurried, slipshod fashion, taking risks.

Arguments from Various Disabilities. These arguments take the form, “I grant you that you can make machines do all the things you have mentioned but you will never be able to make one to do X”. Numerous features X are suggested in this connexion. I offer a selection:
Be kind, resourceful, beautiful, friendly, have initiative, have a sense of humour, tell right from wrong, make mistakes , fall in love, enjoy strawberries and cream, make some one fall in love with it, learn from experience, use words properly, be the subject of its own thought, have as much diversity of behaviour as a man, do something really new. […]
No support is usually offered for these statements. I believe they are mostly founded on the principle of scientific induction. A man has seen thousands of machines in his lifetime. From what he sees of them he draws a number of general conclusions.Turing, Computer Machinery and Intelligence, 1950
You insist that there is something that a machine can’t do. If you will tell me precisely what it is that a machine cannot do, then I can always make a machine which will do just that. Von Neuman
