Have you heard of this thing called quantum computing?

Are quantum computers even relevant to AGI? I'm under the impression that the belief that human brains are quantum computers is considered fringe in both computer science and particularly neuroscience, despite having a handful of high profile proponents (notably Penrose.)
People have a common tendency to connect one thing they don't understand with another they also don't understand.
"If only AI were powered by quantum computers, then AGI would emerge."
Will never replace general computers.

It's more of a hardware to run specific types of algorithms.

The thing that nobody can tell if it works or not? What about it?
