There's always room for refinement in that respect but, then, from where does to the refinement come? Surely, computers can compute more precisely and at a faster rate accoriding to set algorithms but "there is the rub". All precision is based on original programming and consequent modifications by oursleves ... which is where Godel enters the fray:

Gödel's Theorem has been used to argue that a computer can never be as smart as a human being because the extent of its knowledge is limited by a fixed set of axioms, whereas people can discover unexpected truths ... It plays a part in modern linguistic theories, which emphasize the power of language to come up with new ways to express ideas. And it has been taken to imply that you'll never entirely understand yourself, since your mind, like any other closed system, can only be sure of what it knows about itself by relying on what it knows about itself.

Are our very minds limited by language? Surely sense experience, the arts, ect supercede language but, at the same time is there a limit that language places on our very thoughts to ourselves ... i.e. our subconscious. I'm kind of daft in trying to explain myself but you get my drift, right?
