If you could implement a human brain in silicon, its information processing would be faster than its wet brain equivalent. It would think faster, learn faster, and therefore be more intelligent.
- ptr_void 9y agoWhether it would be faster seems unwarranted to me. But that's beyond the point. Why does faster mean more intelligent? Bubble sort in a fast computer vs quick sort ? Moving bath water with tea spoon very very fast vs using water buckets ?
- rojobuffalo 9y agoYou can perform the same routine in less time so learning can happen faster. We're not comparing spoons to buckets; we're comparing a bucket to a bucket, just one bucket tips and empties its contents faster.
