All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions · Rerun: Ep65 "Will Future AI Systems Operate Like The Human Brain? It’s Complicated” with Jeff Hawkins · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

That seems to me AI.

Tell me why I'm wrong or right.

I know that the brain is in the computer, but the big advance in AI was to stop trying to solve the problem and instead just predict the next word, just like the brain from the memory device.

For years, when we tried to get computers to be intelligent, what we did was we said, let's solve the problem.

Let's let the CPU rationally solve the problem.

And then we came around and we said, wait a minute, why don't we just predict the next word?

And suddenly computers were much more intelligent.

Admittedly, we can interact with the world differently than computers, but at the fundamental description of the brain as you understand it, it is that predictive device.

So my question is, haven't we inadvertently in AI discovered the process by which the brain

So that's where I want to go.

Given your understanding of the brain and your understanding of AI, what is the future?

Is the future chess where no human being can beat a computer program and ever will be able to beat a company chess?

Or are there limits that the human brain will always be better than AI?

it has shocked me to see creativity and intelligence emerge from AI.

I wrote a song in ten minutes on AI, from beginning to end, fully produced.

And when I when I play it for people, they go, My God, it sounds like Taylor Swift.

So that has really, really shocked me to the core.

And the question to me is, what does that say about what intelligence is in human beings?

In other words, there's cross-sexual variation in people's ability to create songs themselves.

What determines that cross-sectional variation?
