Computing System Advantages

Design and functional advantages of computing systems over the human brain:

1. They are easier to design (at least for humans).
2. They have more design freedom (easier to change, to correct errors, to add new hardware)
3. They can be scaled better, more money buys more hardware.
4. They are easier to improve, while our brain’s specificity—the result of gradual, reiterative design by evolution—is essentially fixed.
5. They function, in principle, 24/7/365.
6. They perform complex tasks without mistakes caused by loss of attention, energy, focus, or memory.
7. They perform repetitive tasks without getting bored.
8. They perform tasks at greater serial speeds than human neurons or deliberate thought.
9. Their states of thought can be replicated completely.
10. They can have perfect introspection (think total recall in slow motion).
11. Their mental imagery can have the same level of detail as their actual perceptions.
