    In a way, the human brain is literally just an extremely fancy network of neurons that is mathematically a matrix system

    Only if you use Qubits in those calculations, assumably. It’s theorized that neurons are affected by quantum interactions, which would makes sense at least to me (who didn’t study quantum mechanics, lol).

    It’s hardly comparable to the fancy one-shot simulations we call AI right now.

      I don’t think ion channels are small enough for quantum interactions to be significant. Do you have any source for quantum interactions in neurons?

        I think you’re right, but people love shoehorning quantum effects in anything they can. Decoherence is likely too fast in these systems to be meaningful: they’re relatively enormous
