WIRED: AI Is Dead, Organoids Are Alive - Lab-Grown Mini Brains Could Outthink Neural Networks
AndyMasley · x · 2026-08-16
A WIRED article explores lab-grown human brain organoids as a potential alternative to AI. Organoids, with millions of neurons, produce brain waves similar to premature babies. Currently used for disease testing, they may soon guide robots, form biocomputing systems, and play video games. The author suggests future intelligence may be biological, not artificial. Commenter Andy Masley calls it unethical and doubts they'll outthink neural networks.
