    It's funny that none of the AI firms in the limelight are making any attempt to actually copy the architecture of biological neutral networks

    The term "neural network" is primarily marketing term, as is "AI" itself.

    It's also evidence that firms like OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and all the AI startups that are spouting off about working on creating actual AI are full of shit. None of them are working on developing hardware to run real neural networks able to emulate the type of intelligence human brains are capable of, ie dynamic, general, and realtime learning.

    Judging by the creepy tech occultist fucks in charge of these corporations, it's probably better they don't.

      I will say as a neuroscientist, it is a term we use, literally referring to the organization of neurons in the brain and how different areas connect to each other

        I know neural networks are a thing and they do exist, including in synthetic forms, but my point is that when LLMs get marketing hyped enough they get conjured up attributes assigned to them and that's bullshit.
