In another world where, say, I was truly brilliant, I reckon I'd think and behave similarly to Feynman as I've too many diverse interests to focus continually on the same research for decades.
However, the ultimate 'human-thinking AI machine' of the 20th Century and perhaps of all time was John von Neumann. Not only did he have a huge range of diverse interests and a phenomenal photographic memory but he excelled par excellence at everything he touched.
As fortune would have it, this 'alien' of unbounded intelligence dropped in by chance from parts unknown.
