The world’s leading scholar in artificial intelligence once described people as machines made of meat. This nicely captures the consensus in the fields of psychology and neuroscience, which tell us that our mental lives are the products of our physical brains, and that these brains are shaped not by a divine creator, but by the blind process of natural selection.
世界人工智能领域的大腕学者曾经将人类描述成肉做的机器。这种描述很好地抓住了心理学和神经系统科学领域的共识。这些科学告诉我们，人的精神生命是我们物质大脑的产物，而这些大脑并不是由某位神圣的造物主创造的，而是盲目的自然选择的结果。
