The Holy Grail of AI research is called general artificial intelligence, or GAI.
The opposite of general AI isnarrowAI the kind we have today.
But what if thats a dead-end?
What if GAI continues to elude us for as long as we fail to completelyunderstand the human brain?
Or what if there simply isnt any way to replicate the human mind in a classical computer system?

And thats becausethe human brain may actually be a quantum machine.
Cuttlefish or future robot overlord?
Okay, that might not sound like a superpower but its actually quite impressive.
But, according to the peer-reviewed research, cuttlefish dont have this problem.
This is because the cuttlefish brain doesnt have a hippocampus.
Its widely considered the most intelligent invertebrate in existence today.
And theres a whole planet full of other animal brains out there.
This isnt to say that we should teach machines how to navigate by magnetic poles.
Its unclear whether thats a viable strategy at this point.
After all, it took nature millions of years to pull off human intelligence.
