as complex as the human body and mind?

discuss machine vs human. what benefits do each have over another, and what fallbacks do each have?

Nonsense!

The human body isn't much else than an organic machine. Even our incredibly complex brain is made of billions of tiny pieces. It's not impossible to make a machine as complex as the human body, but we're just not at that point in technology right now.

Science fiction can be seen as a glimpse into the future. If we imagine it, can't it be attained, eventually?

The Wonderful LeSieg!

No, not yet. Probably not for awhile, either.

Can we do such a thing currently? No.
Is it possible? Yes.

Quote from Confucius

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Yes but our current technology limits us to this dream

ehh, yes and no. imagination is the drive, which without it, ideas would not fall into succession. because it can be visioned, it's neither perceived as real nor present to the senses, accomplishment is not absolute.

Our eyes can see, a process nobody has been able to replicate. If our eyes were simple, we would be able to replicate the tech by now.

Yes , but it is far from reality right now. The sheer complexity of the human brain is just unimaginable. Our brains cannot even process the scope in putting together all the "pieces" that require building a human being. When you see a robot or any other relatively complex machines, they are still in the realm of comprehension, we can build and design them and draw blue prints if we must. But the human brain is several magnitudes more complicated than even the most intrinsically designed object currently in existence.

what's a camera? can't a camera take in and precieve information to detect it's surroundings, just as our eyes focus?
