My position: Who we are is nothing more than a few billion neurons in a calcium enclosure and an annoyingly inefficient vehicle.
So our intelligence, perceptions, actions, memories, and so on and so forth do indeed exist. I don’t see any reason why we can’t recreate that in silicon. Why we haven’t so far is another issue. To know human intelligence is to know ourselves, and we have so far BARELY been able to decipher the brain of a honeybee. What’s stopping us is from fully understanding the human brain and the relationship between neurological structures and intelligent action. I believe it’s possible, however. If it exists, it can be simulated.
