Humans have unique techniques to solve ill-structured problems

Humans have unique techniques to solve ill-structured problems. (see Ill-structured vs. well-structured problems):

• Acting on an informed hunch (making very quick decisions)
• Making a judgement
• Using incomplete information
• Breaking out of constraints (when making no progress)

These are very hard/impossible for a computer to do. They are uniquely human.
