I don't know about you, but I have an actual inner live, emotions, thoughts and dreams that are far removed from a rote, algorithmic processing of information.

How do you know?

How can you know that live emotions, thoughts and dreams cannot and do not arise from a system of algorithms?

    because fundamentally subjective phenomena can never be explained entirely in terms of objective physical quantitites without losing important aspects of the phenomena.

    Honestly, at the end of the day I don't know for sure, but I think it's on anyone claiming that it is, to provide any proof whatsoever for their assertions. I don't know for sure, but for the time being, I'm operating under the assumption that fancy statistics is insufficient to describe reconstitute the entirety of human subjectivity.
