Topic > Artificial intelligence in prey, by Michael Crichton

Therefore, the human organism, although made up of multiple "swarms", is different from other organisms or programs in its ability to draw conclusions and make illogical and "unnatural" decisions based on the rudimentary interaction of brain cells. Thus, although parallel processing programs distributed by multiple agents may produce emergent behavior that might be equated with our illogical decisions and creativity, human behavior, while somewhat emergent, arises from a deeper consciousness not generated by brain interactions.
