Reflections on the human brain, computing machinery, and the technological singularity hypotheses

الملخص EN

We offer a detailed comparison of human brains versus computing machines, and an explanatory narration of recent competitions between humans and computers.

We also summarize definitions for intelligence and super-intelligence.

This is followed by a presentation of various predictions and prophecies for the potential scenarios of the technological singularity hypothesis or hypotheses (the Singularity).

We summarize criticism of the technological singularity claims, and, in particular, totally refute and rebut parts of these claims which uphold blasphemy and heresy, and constitute a proclamation of a new false religion.

We also reflect on some of the existential risks threatening to lead to humanity extinction (Allah forbid).

We list an extensive number of references equally representing both sides of the controversy about the technological singularity
