Ignoring the metaphysical question is really frustrates me when people treat the brain as just a more complex version of a computer. The human brain and a silicon based computer are two vastly different things you can't and should not compare them.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoIf we can simulate the same software as in the brain, then the hardware is less relevant.
- Dave3of5 3y agoThe brain doesn't run software it's an organ inside the body. If you mean can we simulate a brain inside a computer the answer is no we can't it's unlikely that we can without building something similar to the brain which is why this product is a thing. The physicality is important here.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoThe brain very much does run a type of software. Yes, it's an organ, but the analogy to hardware and software is apt. That's like saying a BIOS doesn't run software it's a chip on a motherboard.
