> hardware is getting to brain level capabilities in processing power is it? not picking a fight, but i was under the impression that we're nowhere near. could

  My understanding is that you can't really compare processing powers between brains and computers. They work differently and are better at different things. Nobody is going to be better at raw number crunching than a computer, but there's also no computer that can recognise patterns as well as your brain can. At this point in time, the computer vs brains argument is very situational.

I agree – I guess I papered over this and basically interpreted GP as saying "computers are getting fast enough to be able to emulate the brain's pattern recognition skills", which seems way too strong – hence my question.
