I can understand the brain structure we see in intelligent animals would emerge from a process of biological evolution where no conscious design is involved (ie. specialised non conscious functions emerge first, generalised processes emerge later), but why should AGI design emulate this given that we can now apply conscious design processes, in addition to the traditional evolutionary incremental trial and error methods?
