That seems unlikely to me. Human brains can do metacognition, so it's obviously physically possible. Computers keep getting faster. Unless civilization ends first, we should theoretically be able to make a computer fast enough to just emulate a human brain and brute-force metacognition, at which point anything is possible.
Now, will that occur in our lifetimes, or for that matter in this millennium? Who knows.
We only need to accelerate the melting of the poles to do so, it seems.
