    The thing is the human brain is very small and very efficient and has some limits on what it is made from being biological in nature.

    As the human brain exists we know it is possible to make. So if we make something as equally as functional then whatever we make we just make a new version 10 times as big.

    The problem is making that first artifical brain, but when we make that I don’t see how we couldn’t have an explosion in intelligence.

        We wasn’t able to understand fire and we replicated that.

            Which is why neural network computer science needs psychologists and sociologists to regulate it.

            It’s only a matter of time before corps start trying to simulate human brains, but even the smaller models deserve at least the same level of consideration that we give to animals.

          I get what you’re trying to say, but making fire and understanding the human brain are not even remotely on the same level.

        We do not have task of replicating brain, only intelligence. And even there it is not replicating that we want or we do.

      Human brain is not very efficient. It just barely made efficient enough to start civilization - it did not have time to evolve within civilization to become more intelligent. Think about how more intelligent we would be if we were to continue evolving in the same direction of smart civilization builders for another million years.

        Okay. If anything that makes it more likely will with have some huge intelligence jump
