Like 80% of the human brain is used for things that AI does not need (digestion, breathing, etc). So I think that automatically disqualifies your stance, but I am open-minded and would like to know what percent of the human brain you think is vital for AI to outperform us.
- EA-3167 2y agoEven if you discount the role of the whole body as an integrated system, signaling and talking to itself, coordinated by the brain... you're still talking about 16 billion neurons in the cortex alone. That may sound like a number we can approach or exceed with modern tech, but neurons are not transistors. Those 16 billion neurons in the cortex form over 140 TRILLION connections through synapes. Those are both computing elements as well as memory. There's no comparison, not even close. As a bonus we don't each require a giant warehouse to house us, we don't require a vast supply of water, nor do we require a personal dedicated power plant.
