There is zero evidence quantum algorithms are used in the brain, and the same thing can be said about conventional computers that run every AI ever made. Quantum computers, as their name suggests, do use quantum algorithms, and I am almost certain that someday they will be used to crack codes, do chemistry and other quantum simulations that are impractical with even the largest conventional computers, but it's not clear if they will ever be useful in AI. * *And if the brain really is a quantum computer then you'd think we'd be good at doing things that we know for certain that quantum computers would be good at, like factoring large numbers; but conventional computers are far better at that than humans are. About the only thing quantum mechanics and consciousness have in common is that both are somewhat mysterious. * *John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis>* 37v -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
