Throw enough computing power behind a complex learning OS (which quantum computers could prove to be) and you may come up a silicone based system that mimics organic systems (us) so perfectly that you can’t distinguish between them.........Just guessing.
I don’t see it happening
Weve done great things with silicon and software.
Software is logic, and its impossible for it to emulate the human mind imho.
Oh, you can make it replicate portions of popular thought, but it even does that poorly.
The code is only as good as the programmer.
I have never seen a program that learns from it self and external input well.
The world hated that talking paper clip from microshaft!
Except that when you say "This operating system blows" you're not calling it a slut. (Can I say that?)
Cheers!
