It did not work. Hawkins work did not create Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

The complexity of the human brain is awesome. The human brain is measured by about a billion cells that interact with one another to create thought. We still do not have a working AGI or processor design that mimics the brain in the same complexity that is needed to create artificial thought.

We may find a back door or a trick to make AGI work in machines without emulating the complexity or memory model of the biological human brain, but current work is not creating AGI.

New ways of thinking are needed and new models for memory to support AGI are needed.

We might beable to fake AGI in the short term by writing clever software, but there is no substitute for real AGI computers.
