An understanding of how the brain works, helps to better understand better why AI doesn't happen. Your brain isn't a computer with data input and output. That's not how modern neuroscience understands the brain. It works more like a multi-million man, 2 party legislative body where each decision is a massive debate and where only the 1-2 winning answers rise to conscious awareness.
Conscious thinking is simply the final arbiter of that massive debate and potentially 1000s of arguments argued and makes the final decision between which arguments rise to conscious awareness. The funny thing about your thoughts and ideas is that you really have no idea where they came from because your conscious mind has no access to those unconscious mental processes from which they derived. Your brain simply makes up a reason for it .. .sometimes based on information that applies and in the absence of information, it fabricates something (confabulates). In other words, we are all habitual liars and victims of our own self delusion and we also habitually lie to defend and protect those delusions.
The challenge in AI as i understand as compared to the brain is how to model how a brain works... is not how to make a decision, but how to argue 10,000 arguments between 1,000,000 parties... arguments where the majority of which do not come pre-programmed into the brain as they are constantly being learned and then how to effectively weigh 10,000 pros and cons of all, choose the winners and then make the best decision based on highly fluid and dynamic circumstances by making future predictions AND THEN imagine the consequences of the decision, how it might go right and wrong and also reason through it where other relevant decisions also have a cause and effect on each previous and future decision.
