However clever your algorithm, at that level, something's bound to confuse it. Gimme FAI with checks and balances every time.
Is there a Godel sentence for human consciousness?
(My favorite proposal so far is: "I cannot honestly assert this sentence.")
It's definitely clever, but it's not quite what a Gödel sentence for us would be- it would seem to us to be an intractable statement about something else, and we'd be incapable of comprehending it as an indirect reference to our processes of understanding.
So, in particular, a human being can't write the Gödel sentence for humans.
