> The brain is slow and redundant. It has to be like that because it is not produced in a factory - it is created by self replication. Self replication imposes strict limits and requirements on the type of brain that can be created. It is also limited by the efficiency that it must attain in order to operate under the energy conditions of our environment. The energy efficiency of biological systems might be a hint that we should more-directly employ them in the "artificial" minds we build. You're right that the human brain is limited because of its context, but we'll only get superhuman hard artificial intelligence when we're able to build/grow a big one in a vat. > A neural net like ResNet-150 is capable of doing essentially what 1/3 of the brain is doing (vision). Is it? There is probably a lot more going on in that 1/3 of our brain than mapping images to words.
