the latency for operations in/ out of the brain is just incomparable between biological systems and cpus.

Not to mention the same issue with time needed for new algorithms/software to be generated, run, and limitations/difficulties on interfaces.

They're different systems, optimised for different things.

CPUs look superior if you ignore the problems using/requiring the huge benefits of biological and analogue systems the brain has, and the brain generally looks superior if you forget time, logic and deductive system implementations, inspection, standardisation, commoditization, etc.

obviously that's extremely simplified, but that's what one can fit in a HN post.

that also doesn't mean we can't learn and gain benefits for both by taking inspiration from the other, but like most things in life its far more complex than one outperforming the other or the two even being directly analogous.
