So what if it's electrical signals. It's not really 1s and 0s is it, they are grouped together into floating point numbers, right? And at some point there are enough ones and zeroes that you can effectively simulate just about any analog state. So why should we assume it's not possible to simulate the states of neurons? And why do we assume that the brain's structure is the only way to produce intelligence? Surely - like other biological systems - they are a specific implementation of what nature allows, but not necessarily the only one.
