I can’t reply to your latest comment for some reason, so:

> This has to be the most misinformed counterargument of all time. The brain certainly doesn't use maths as it is not a binary system. Information is approximated and estimated. Do some reading on chemically mediated graded responses and how neurotransmitters actually function within a synapse.

Uh, what? The brain is a physical object. The way that physical objects work is dictated by the equations of physics (maths). Are you telling me that the brain doesn’t abide by physics?

And weren’t you just telling me that something that uses approximations/probability isn’t reasoning?

“chemically mediated graded responses”

That sounds like roughly the same thing as an activation function that neural networks like GPT models use.
