Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff did research into the microtubules in the brain (a fundamental structural component of neurology) and formed a theory ( Orchestrated objective reduction).
This theory suggests our brains perform quantum computations.
Hartmut Neven, the director of Google’s Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab predicts their large-scale quantum computer could in theory solve computational problems unsolvable by a classical computers in any reasonable amount of time.
in other words, the types of computers that we all use, the type that AI is made on, will NEVER be able to compute with as much complexity as a quantum computer.
Theoretically, if our brains are computing at near or equal complexity as a quantum computer, then how can AI ever hope to replicate it?
to answer whether we are AI, i would first think about what we are. Are we consciousness? yes, but isn’t consciousness in it’s raw form, awareness? So how could AI replicate consciousness?
Roger Penrose does not believe the human mind is computable, perhaps because it’s complexity is too immense. But maybe our future quantum computers, or a “Higher Intelligence” would be able to handle the immense complexity.
I believe it is theoretically possible to create “AI” like us, so it is possible we ourselves are “AI”
