Yes, they can compute the same functions (modulo some formalism that 
explains just how an system that interacts with the environment can 
be said to be functional)

But as for weakness of people, well, it is people who do the 
programming and anything that makes life easier for people to 
understand how their programs relate to their problems has to be 
conosidered useful.
