Obviously any kind of model is going to be a gross simplification of the actual biological systems at play in various behaviors that brains exhibit.

I'm just pointing out that not all models are created equal and this one is over used to create a lot of bullshit.

Especially in the tech industry where we're presently seeing billionaires trying to peddle a new techno-feudalism wrapped up in the mystical hokum language of machines that can, "reason."

I don't think the use of the computational interpretation can't possibly lead to interesting results or insights but I do hope that the neuroscientists in the room don't get too exhausted by the constant stream of papers and conference talks pushing out empirical studies.
