> first, neural nets are much more closely related to applied statistics than biology mimicry
Well, aren't biological systems really really refined statistical systems?
Well, aren't biological systems really really refined statistical systems?
There is a very loose relation between them, because neural nets were historically inspired by the way real neurons are connected.
This is not saying anything about the capabilities of neural nets, I think they can be extremely potent, up to AGI level, but not because of biological mimicry but thanks to Computational Equivalence.
