Is the brain better than a GPU at image recognition nowadays? Actually I’m not sure how that’s measured. Certainly a GPU could be tied to a database with a lot more things in it, like you can get some pretty impressive facial recognition demos where it’ll recognize a ton of random people.
But humans can see objects they’ve never seen before and sometimes guess what they might be used for, which is sort of like object recognition but better. (Or sometimes I see an object I’m technically familiar with, like an old tool of my grandpa’s, and remembering what he used it for feels more like imagining… maybe it is).
