Human vs AI Intelligence

[Pete in Panama]

What do you imagine AI will look like in 2040?

Yogi Berra once said that making predictions was hard, especially the ones about the future.

So far the trend has been for technology to develop replacements for body parts, including parts of the brain. The thing is that what we know know is that the brain is far more complex than ever before imagined. We used to think of the billions of neurons as acting as switches --transistors. Now we know that each neuron itself is a programmable microprocessor so a brain is better described as a parallel processor array of billions of units but that itself is a horrible oversimplification. Along w/ those neurons comes a soup of enzymes that mold thought processes w/ adrenaline, dopamine, lots of other juices. Add to that all we may learn tomorrow about the physical brain functioning, as well as the programming that smart parents/society are teaching us.

Sure AI is improving fast. What I'm seeing is that real life is improving faster.

Not only real life, also "fake" life.
Human augmentation is a race between technology and biology. We can replace body parts with machines, but we can also edit genes or grow new organs.
