For the downvoters: What magic do you think the human brain has that makes it impossible to emulate acceptably?

LLMs are not emulating the human brain. Somebody may well be able to do that someday, but right now nobody is even trying to.

  • Why would you need brain emulation to get superhuman intelligence?

    • Are you making a serious argument that superhuman intelligence is a plausible outcome of training LLMs on everything humanity knows so far? Or are you making the generic assertion that AGI is theoretically possible via means other than emulating the human brain? Because the latter is a strawman (nobody has asserted anything to the contrary), and I have seen no evidence at all to support the former.
