    It also took evolution billions of years to make a meat computer that can do math, but we took some sand, purified it, doped it, and used it to make thinking machines in a tiny fraction of that time.

      Making things biologically and making things with silicon and plastic are two completely different animals. Were far off from making something to simulate the brain in all it’s parts, much less making a biological one from scratch. Same thing with a chicken leg, we can make a robot chicken leg that does all the functions of a chicken leg, but you probably wouldn’t want to eat it.
