Abstract

Thanks to great advances in computer computation power, singularity enthusiasts have produced predictions about the eventual merger of biological and nonbiological intelligence in the near future. However, specialists in real brains, and not artificial brains, have found such claims naive. They say that singularity enthusiasts have looked down on the brain's complexity. For instance, Nobel laureate Gerald Edelman says that each brain is unique, and they constantly change in response to new experiences.
