We don’t know all that much about how the human brain works.
We also don’t know all that much about how computer neural networks work (do not be deceived, half of what we do is throw random bullshit at a network and it works more often than it really should)
Therefore, the human brain and computer neural networks work exactly the same way.
Yeah there’s some ideas about there clearly being a difference in that the brain isn’t feed-forward like these algorithms are. The book I Am a Strange Loop is a great read on the topic of consciousness. But I bet these models hit a massive plateau as the pump them full of bigger, shitter data. Who knows if we’ll ever achieve any actual parity between human and ai experience.
at some point they started incorporating recursive connection topologies. but the model of the neuron itself hasn’t changed very much and it’s a deeply simplistic analogy that to my knowledge hasn’t been connected to actual biology. I’ll be more impressed when they’re able to start emulating the structures and connective topologies actually found in real animals, producing a functioning replica. until they can do that, there’s no hope of replicating anything like human cognition.
