Humans are just creative computers. Once the computer becomes creative, there’s no reason it can’t do what we do.

Im not a creative computer, im a creative and conscious human!
All we do is compute if you think about it
Kind of, Our computations are made through reasoning, spontaneity, and many times they are not reasoned, they are also not predictable many times, and our thinking model is based on something more than simply guessing the next most probable token, we also have criteria and the ability to judge. It is true that these are the early years of AI, but sometimes I feel that we overvalue and magnify the capabilities of these models
Reason = computing
Spontaneity = unnoticed computing
Unpredictability = randomness
Judgement = subconscious computing
We do one more thing, we experience. There's something it's like to be human.
I would say you're acting like a doomer.
Study cars vs horses.
Study accountants vs computers.
I'm bored. What's the plot? And have we lost it?
Creation is a force not understood.
That's a Newtonian perspective which doesn't take phenomenon like the biosphere into account.
The reason we have two hemispheres of the brain is because logic and reason (computation) is insufficient.
the right brain sees negatives and reverse of causality
there simply isn't a linear, causality based model for how this thing works, and until the computer has that, it is always gonna be half of what we are, and i would argue that from an energy and economics perspective, millions of years of evolution will not be improved upon in a matter of decades by a bunch of humans with more ego than empathy
phillip k dick wrote a book that tells a story in reverse time... Counterclock World iirc... was a very intriguing read, to be honest i would have to read it a few times more to actually get the hidden reverse timeline in it, i can't imagine how he came up with a way to describe it all backwards... dude was a genius, if you never read any pkd you must
Says who?
Says reality.
The biosphere creates it's own possibility of becoming.
This is not computable, if our brains were computational we'd be dead.
Most mental processes, including both emotion and reason, actually involve both hemispheres of the brain.
Emotion is also calculation, just calculation outside of our conscious control.
I think we will see artificial consciousness someday, and there will be no reason it can’t do what we do. But I don’t think creativity is the only missing component.
One consistently overlooked thing is embodiment. It’s a mistake to consider consciousness as something disembodied. A consciousness needs sensory input and to interact with its environment.
And we might not yet know all the other missing pieces.
