Some people (e.g. Penrose) reject this, believing that there's something mystical about human thought-- perhaps a soul, perhaps some quantum magic.

- kazinator 2y agoBut we are working on quantum magic!
- sunami-ai 2y agoAny technology that's advanced enough is indistinguishable from magic, or something along these lines...
- jay_kyburz 2y agoYeah but, so what? Whether or not there is some magic that makes humans super special really has no bearing on whether or not we can make super duper powerful computers that can be given really hard problems. In my view its inevitable that we'll build an AI that is more capable than a human. And that the AI will be able to build better computers, and write better software. That the singularity.
- mlyle 2y agoHis argument is that incompleteness means that humans will always be able to do things that non-quantum machines can't. I don't agree with this view. > In my view its inevitable that we'll build an AI that is more capable than a human. Seems pretty likely, with a big uncertainty on timeframe. > And that the AI will be able to build better computers, and write better software. That the singularity. This could happen, but I don't agree it's an inevitable consequence of the first.
