Nope, computers are fast numbercrunchers wheras brains are slow networked learning machines.

What do you base that on. relatively large quantities of neuron soup has been wired and has thus far not exhibited any intelligence, just pattern recognition and memory.

The ANN's we create today has virtually nothing in common with how the brain actually functions as ANNs are based on 60's knowledge.
