- whatshisface 7y agoThe thing is, airplanes are not based on reverse-engineered birds. Cutting edge prototypes still struggle to imitate bird flight, because as it turns out big jet turbines are easier to build. It could very well be easier to engineer a "big intelligence turbine" than it would be to make an imitation brain.
- bart_spoon 7y ago> It could very well be easier to engineer a "big intelligence turbine" Is that not what a computer is? We have continuously tried and failed to create machines that think, react, and learn like the brains of living things, and instead managed to create machines that manage to simulate or even surpass the capabilities of brains in some contexts, while still completely failing in others.
