Fortunately, we don't have to do anything like an exhaustive search of the space because we have a working example of intelligence that we can copy My point was just that anything besides an exhaustive search of the space is applying some sort of "creativity magic." Also FWIW, I believe that in order to simulate a brain on a computer we will essentially need to know how it works, which we are no where near. That is my opinion as an AI researcher, but there are certainly others who know more than me and disagree.
