A computer being able to simulate a brain that thinks for itself is the logical extrapolation of current brain-simulation efforts. Many people think there are far less computationally intensive ways to make an AI, but "physics sim of a human brain" is a good thought experiment.
Unless you think there's something magic about human brains? Using "magic" here to mean incomprehensible, unobservable, and incomputable.

- hikarudo 7y agoI believe ekianjo wasn't talking about neural networks, but simulations using models that are similar to how neurons work. Computational neuroscience is a thing.
