So do you believe that human brains are somehow magic and don't follow the laws of physics and can't be simulated by Turing machines?

They’re talking about AI now not some notional future where we can model a real nervous system.

I do. It’s not a very controversial belief except if you only train using Internet comments.

It's quite controversial since any magic element in the universe undermines fundamental assumptions.

Physics has plenty of holes. It’s a changing model of measurable quantities in our world. It doesn’t take a lot of brainpower to fit other systems either into the gaps in physics, or independent unmeasurable areas

Magic violates fundamental principles of our understanding of the world like causality or various conservation laws. You can't just squeeze that into the gaps.

You've set up a false dichotomy.

"Human brain is magic." <> "Human brain is not simulatable by Turing machines."

There are other possibilities. I'm sure you can think of a few.

I can't think of any. Can you help me?
