What is the human brain with 100 IQ vs. the average computer in 2013?

The human brain’s processing speed is estimated at about 20 petaflops.
An Intel Core i7, a current high end quadcore hyperthreading CPU, gets about 70 gigaflops, which is about 0.0000035 of the brain’s power.

A human response will always be based in experience/emotion. A computer will always create an algorithmic response based on keywords.

Might as well compare apples to elephants.

Computers are not good at taking multiple pieces of data and turning them into actual information unless they are explicitly told how to do so; humans have intuition. This is partly because computers can only deal with binary choices (yes/no, true/false, black/white…) and can only approach human-like reactions with a lot of passing through many rules (lines of code) whereas a person can just “wing it”.

@Blueroses But are we not some sort of programmed being? Albeit, organic, we are programmed right? What I’m getting at is, one day we’ll probably be able to program machines into something near as a complex thinker that is also sensitive to environment as is needed for it’s protection and survival.

@pleiades Not unless we come up with a fundamentally different way of computing. I’m not saying that it will never happen, but one thing that sets humans apart is our ability to deal with the unexpected. Put another way, we can deal with fuzzy logic far better than any computer ever built, or that will be built in the foreseeable future.

Computers do what they are told, people do not.

Computers dechiper logic while humans can too but with the added ability to detect nuances in behaviour long befgore a computer understands .
What does a computer do when the power is off?
It relies on humans to fix that problem.

A person with an IQ of 80 can easily run on uneven ground and catch a flying basketball. Even the NSA’s best supercomputers are far too slow to simulate a visual and motor cortex capable of this feat.
