Bought up related post but fever paticipation on this interesting topic so changing the context for easy undestanding and relevance.

Computers are creation of mankind and mankind will always have a upper hand over computers! I agree.

Take a note that Computer's brain work on similar concept as human brains but there are many ways in which computer's brain can out perform human brain.

1. Computer brain is more efficient then human's and can be with consistency / robustness be considered superior?

2. Should human's consider their brains as backups and sole rely on computers to make decision on thier behalf ?

Would add more thoughts based on points aised.😊

Computer brain is a product of the human brain and not vice versa... the original remains the Human Brain and can never be a back up to its own product.

Computer Brain has its limitations, it is programmed or designed to work with a certain set parameters, which if it fails, it knows not the way ahead. The human brain comes in at this juncture, to work even when there are no known parameters around.

Take a note that Computer's brain work on similar concept as human brains thats not true... human brain is superior but there are many ways in which computer's brain can out perform human brain.thats not superiority but rather lack of fatigue....

1. Computer brain is more efficient then human's and can be with consistency / robustness be considered superior? not superior.. but undefatigable - yes...

2. Should human's consider their brains as backups and sole rely on computers to make decision on thier behalf ? 95 % of the times...

And the opposite also holds true. Keep in mind the human brain brings along dimensions of emotion, experience, "easy upgrade" (in some cases 😆) of social and contextual changes, etc. These are factors that neither play into the function of a computer nor can be programmed into a computer. And the above-mentioned variables are not only independent to each individual human brain, but also necessary in the performance of many functions.

1. Computer brain is more efficient then human's and can be with consistency / robustness be considered superior?
As mentioned, this is true within certain parameters and when taking into consideration the fatigue-factor. However, the superiority of the function depends on the objective of the process. If it is a purely data-based, computational problem, the computer-brain is almost infaliably reliable.
A problem that involves the dimensions of emotions, morality, possibilities and context - variable-based problems - is better analyzed and processed by a human brain as the human brain has greater ability and capacity to adapt.

2. Should human's consider their brains as backups and sole rely on computers to make decision on thier behalf ?
Heck no! Now there's a scary thought. There is no substitution for your own brain. It is the storage vault for all your past experiences and knowledge. These are key components in the decision-making process. The computer is incapable of producing experience, knowledge and memory. Add to the fact, the variables (I feel like a broken record) and infinite, as are, in direct corelation, the decision and solutions.
A feasable posibility is to rely, first-hand, on the human brain for most functions and decision-making processes, but also be free to use the computer's brain as a back-up and a supplementary resource.

It should be abundantly clear to all that the brain is supervient to the Computer Brain or CPU as we currently understand them. What we have built or conceived (in the area of computers) is still not as interesting, potent, and creative as the human brain. While the computer is analogous to certain aspects of the brain, the brain is beyond comparison to the CPU.

Though recent studies on AI is trying to change just this fact. Computers are fast learning (learnt too) to match the capabilities of humans, be it language processing, visual processing, problem solving, or whatever. And when, in a few years, we learn to combine
these different technologies, we will have, for lack of a better term, a synthetic brain. I am quite certain.

I have seen no human feat which would seem to be somehow beyond the capabilities of AI. Maybe I have overlooked something? Or maybe I am bit biased here, AI being my own subject. 😊

...thereby allowing the artificial brain to evolve?

Our brains are developed from the time of birth. Continual input, be it sensory or data, shapes the capacity in which we think, feel and function. Would the artificial brain be able to adapt to this dimension of the human brain's abilities?

Cultural and social contexts hold relevance to the thought and decision making-process. Would the artificial brain be equipped with an understanding of all cultures? And thereby would be supercede the human?

I think computer brain is good...Ek bar set kiya tho life time aisa hi chalegaa....we can store lot of things,we can spread the knoweldge n gossip all over the world,Galat kiya tho we can use Undo commends, virus aagaya tho we can change or backup the things and we can use Hard disk(garwali) and CD's (bahar wali) 😉 😛 and last Esc option be hey.. 😃
