> "I personally do not believe AGI is possible under current or near-future technology" Calculators do arithmetic faster and more reliably than human brains, and do so using many fewer transistors than we have neurons. Wheels and tarmac are simpler, more efficient and faster at forwards motion than jointed human legs. Boston Dynamics' robots can cross rough terrain with legs, without needing bones and flesh and nerves and blood and skin and hair and toes with toenails. What if language, reasoning, logic, intelligence is similar - if it could be done on simpler hardware by not doing it in the same way the human brain does it, if we knew how? I don't suppose this can be answered either way until someone builds an AGI or understands how the brain works, but is there a strong reason you think this reasoning doesn't/cannot apply to thinking, other than "the brain is the only thing we know of which does this"?
