Speculation in an absence of information. There are definitely biological organisms that suffer the same mistakes as our curve fitting. Eg the bird that pecks the red dot on the mothers beak. Its selected to pick the biggest red dot, so if you put a giant red dot next to the nest they will starve. Seems reasonable to believe human brains are lots of very good curve fitters working together. If anything because this is so successful maybe it's all we actually need. Specific neural nets for specific tasks. Maybe dualism is correct and conciousness is something special, but we have no ideas on how to test that.
