> aren't remotely comparable to the way humans think and act

Neural networks in machine learning/AI are comparable to neural networks in human brains. What made you think they aren't?

That's an incredibly deep misunderstanding. Almost as bad as saying that human is the same as a tree because we're both made of carbohydrates and proteins.

  • The comparison I provided is between how an LLM functions and one part of how a brain functions. It's not an equivalence, I did not say they are "the same". You made the claim that these systems "aren't remotely comparable", and when faced with a clear comparison, you claim "deep misunderstanding".. Have you any arguments to make, or is this going to devolve into more statements that both mischaracterize and muddy the water?
