The human mind, while having less data storage, and being drastically slower for some types of problems, will stay significantly faster than computers at other types of problems.
We merely must learn to better teach those brains (matrix upload?), extend them (artificial memory enhancements and built in calculators) and utilize them for the problem sets they excel at.
- Osmium 12y ago> The human mind ... will stay significantly faster than computers at other types of problems This is controversial. Semantic tagging of photographs used to be something that was done much better by the human brain, but all of a sudden it seems like computers are catching up fast. I hesitate to say there's any one domain that we won't be able to tackle algorithmically/via machine learning in some way. > extend them (artificial memory enhancements and built in calculators) My phone is already my artificial memory enhancement. Communication is via a high latency, unreliable interface, but it's (for all intents and purposes) an extension of my brain ;)
- hodwik 12y agoAbsolutely, technology of some kind will be able to replicate all human domains of intelligence at some distant point in the future, but our own minds will be continually extended (with lower and lower latency, and increasingly reliable interfaces). The question becomes moot as humans and machine coalesce.
