>It's making the assumption that human brains are simply very complex neural nets. Even ignoring religious/spiritual arguments about souls, the simple fact of the matter is that we don't really know a lot about how the human brain/consciousness actually works on a fundamental level (and anyone who tells you otherwise is misinformed or lying). How human brains work is irrelevant, we didn't need to solve the Navier Stokes Equation to build Airplanes and we don't need to solve intelligence either. Consciousness is totally outside the bounds of this discussion and also irrelevant to building an intelligent AI.
