> "Human brains lack any model of intelligence. It's just neurons firing in complicated patterns in response to inputs based on what statistically leads to reproductive success"

Are you sure about that ? Do we have proof of that ? In happened all the time trought history of science that a lot of scientists were convinced of something and a model of reality up until someone discovers a new proof and or propose a new coherent model. That’s literally the history of science, disprove what we thought was an established model



Indeed, a good point. My comment assumes that our current model of the human brain is (sufficiently) complete.

Your comment reveals an interesting corollary - those that believe in something beyond our understanding, like the Christian soul, may never be convinced that an AI is truly sapient.
