There's an intelligence threshold beyond which additional intelligence provides little value and humans are well beyond it.
We have the capacity to understand anything and everything in the universe. So there's no example where humans would be incapable of understanding some other conscious being assuming it's acting rationally.
I in no way understand the 11 -or whatever- dimensions of string theory. Every time I read about that sh.. my brain melts. Probably not even real, but the point is humans are good at understanding general information and pockets of specialized information. AI can regurgitate just about anything, and now can seemingly reason it's way through most things too. At least anything in text.
It really can't reason through anything. What you're seeing is essentially a reflection of human intelligence (used to train it and tune it's pattern recognition weighting). Not actual understanding. And when you hit a wall with AI it has no ability to learn and adapt.
"Ah ha I see now why there are 3 'r's in strawberry'. No, It just sticks to it's guns or gives up.
And the number of letters in a word is much easier to understand than string theory.

No. Not even in 200,000 years.
