The fundamental problem this argument has is that computers are in the world. Probably not to the degree required and certainly not up to AGI. But, self driving cars and Boston dynamics exist. The gap between "in the world" and not isn't some insurmountable barrier. It's an engineering problem that's been solved to varying degrees by engineers and hobbyists.

There are so many great books on theory of mind, consciousness, embodied intelligence, and general/strong AI that it's hard to know where to begin.

For me, even though it is somewhat old at this point (e.g. definitely no big-data/ML approaches even considered) would be the anthology "The Mind's I" edited and annotated by Dennett and Hofstadter. It's not going to directly rebut this author's point, but definitely gives a deep and rounded overview of many of the issues involved in thinking about computers and minds as somehow related to each other.

But there are many, many others, almost any of which will be better than this article.
