So do you believe that human brains are somehow magic and don't follow the laws of physics and can't be simulated by Turing machines?

So do you believe that human brains are somehow magic and don't follow the laws of physics and can't be simulated by Turing machines?
- meheleventyone 4y agoThey’re talking about AI now not some notional future where we can model a real nervous system.
- srcreigh 4y agoI do. It’s not a very controversial belief except if you only train using Internet comments.
- adrianN 4y agoIt's quite controversial since any magic element in the universe undermines fundamental assumptions.
- srcreigh 4y agoPhysics has plenty of holes. It’s a changing model of measurable quantities in our world. It doesn’t take a lot of brainpower to fit other systems either into the gaps in physics, or independent unmeasurable areas
- adrianN 4y agoMagic violates fundamental principles of our understanding of the world like causality or various conservation laws. You can't just squeeze that into the gaps.
- atlantic 4y agoYou've set up a false dichotomy. "Human brain is magic." <> "Human brain is not simulatable by Turing machines." There are other possibilities. I'm sure you can think of a few.
- adrianN 4y agoI can't think of any. Can you help me?
