You keep saying people who disagree with you don’t know what they’re talking about. I build neural networks for a living. I’m not creating brains.

Just because a plane is named a F/A-18 Hornet doesn’t mean it shares flight mechanisms with an insect.

Artificial neural nets are very different from brains but in practice are very different, for the reasons I mentioned above, but also for the reason that no one is trying to build a brain, they are trying to predict clicks or recommend videos etc.

There is software which does attempt to model brains explicitly. So far we haven’t simulated anything more complex than a fly.
