Brain-Computer Debate

I bet never. Brains are not computers.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39751509https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9885558https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21253267

"LLMs cannot think like brains" does not imply "no computer it will ever be possible to construct could think like a brain".

This is almost comical :p The brain is not a turing machine. You can't make these kind of analysis because the brain isn't just a huge von neumann computer.

That’s a really deep question. If our brains are like digital computers, then yes, that’d be true. But they could be like analog computers, quantum computers, or something we don’t yet have the ability to describe.

You're making a category error. Human brains aren't computers. They do not "compute" at all.

Hint: it has been said hundreds of times since the advent of computer science that the brain is "just" [some simple thing that we already understand]. That notion has never once helped us in any way.

This is a particular philosophical conjecture, not a proven scientific fact. We don't understand enough about the human brain to prove whether it is fundamentally different from a very complex computer.

You are still making the assumption that the brain is a computer. Is there any theoretical proof that our brains are a permutation of a Turing machine? That to me would seem to be the first step towards your conclusion.

Why do you think you can't execute the computations of the brain ?

What can a real brain do that a simulated brain can't?
