Snails use 'two brain cells' to make decisions, Sussex University discovers
Another (s)nail in the coffin of the superstition that more powerful computers will somehow magically result in strong AI. Our current AI is nowhere near the level of autonomy of animals like snails. If it was just a matter of more computing power, or more data, we&#x27;d have snail-level intelligence down pat by now.<p>Edit: Er, btw, the bbc article misleadingly talks of &quot;brain&quot; calls. Moluscs don&#x27;t have brains. The Nature paper (linked from the parent) clarifies that it&#x27;s about &quot;two neuron types&quot;.
