> What is irrelevant is trying to dismiss transformers as intelligent, or like the brain,

Well there is a very very very big thing that makes it relevant, which would be the fact that we have no fucking clue on how our brain actually works.

Wild claims, as always, no sources, as always

Thanks for agreeing with my point, which is that all of the people claiming that these systems are NOT like the human brain have no clue what they're talking about, and that these systems very well could operate just like the brain.

Winner winner chicken dinner. Could sum the argument as: Transformers appear to be approximately emulating the brain despite us not fully understanding how either works "inside". Which is weird and eerie, but plausible.

One smart ape once said: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

The burden of proof is on you, and so far you produced nothing of value in that regard

The burden of proof is always on whomever is making a claim. I didn't claim transformer systems were like the brain, I simply showed the mistakes behind the arguments claiming the opposite, by showing how transformer systems could work like the brain.

> The burden of proof is always on whomever is making a claim

Yes, you in that case, you said "ie. this is what the brain does."

We don't know "what the brain does", so you can't make this claim
