Mainstream physicists, neuroscientists, and ML researchers are all more or less united in their view that Penrose is really overstepping the valid application of the arguments that he's using when he talks about this stuff. He really really wants quantum mechanics to be an important part of the intelligence/consciousness debates, so when he sees an indication that it could be relevant, he jumps to the conclusion that not only is it relevant, it is of paramount importance.
