The smart answer is nobody really knows, but physical-chemical interactions seem to play a big role. Science doesn’t even know how a bunch of atoms ...

"The idea that the brain is a computational organ is the foundational premise of modern neuroscience and cognitive science. " - Google's Gemini

I'm in no way any sort of expert in neuroscience, but this would suggest there is general agreement in the field that the brain is doing computation. It's a computer.

Sounds like you may disagree with this, but I don't, and this is my reasoning from there:

A Turing-complete computer can do ANY computation allowed in our universe. I am a huge fan of Turing, and I think his work is vastly underappreciated. He was doing physics. He was telling us about what sort of computers can exist in our universe, and their abilities.

Once a computer becomes Turing-complete, it can do ANY computation allowed by our universe. They are all the same in that particular sense. Some may have more memory, or more speed, but beyond that, there can be nothing "special" about them. There are no sorts of computation in our universe that one computer can run, that another can't.

The computer I type this on is Turing-complete. It therefore can run ANY computation that I run in my brain, given memory and speed constraints.

This has been accepted science since ~1936.

So in my mind, not only is it possible for silicon based computers to become full AGI and conscience like we are, it has been accepted science for a very long time.

[note that in the above I am keeping the conversation about classical computers, and ignoring quantum computers because I don't think it meaningfully changes the conversation]
