There are two major possibilities:
- The brain is an organic computer and all of its outputs are the result are based in physics, however impressively emergent
- There is something spooky going on and consciousness involves more than is captured in hardware.
The evidence for the first view is overwhelming. The evidence for the second view is non existent.
If the first view is true, then we will build human equivalent brains in less than two generations. Human dexterity and then beyond in one generation. Except both the brains and the bodies will be far faster and far more extensible and far more compacted. It follows than humans will become first like dogs and the like ants to the AI we'll spawn - mindless automatons little different to rocks, from their perspective.
It's a sobering view, and morons will rage against it, but it's probably correct. What this means for the future of humanity, I don't know, but we'll all be replaceable and eventually become incompetent and unemployable in the long run. Machine-mind systems will prolong it somewhat.
But once fully immersive, interactive virtual reality is up, who would want to live in reality anyway?

I imagine Creativity and consciousness is of quantum thinking so this is where we disagree.
Creativity is certainly not a quantum phenomena. You can trace its path pretty easily for most types. Most stuff that the cucks laud as creativity and expressive of emotion or truth is formulaic - put that with this, using this style. Irony, wit, humor, creativity, spirituality, the stimulation of emotions, controlling people and winning their interest and loyalty, are all formulaic creations to a sufficient intelligence.
There's a lot of insight to be gleaned from the experience of sociopaths, narcissistic manipulators, those with dulled emotions, brain damage, etc.
