is there anything in that which requires that it be a physical biological substrate rather than a model? Can't computer models follow the same behavior as long as that's how their environment / system is set up? (More specifically, can't they also have brains made up of cells connected to each other, in a way closely analogous or even an exact simulation of chemical pathways?)
- visarga 10y agoI think there is absolutely no need for the system to be biological. A computer model can work just as well. As long as it solves the same behavior problem, there is no difference between brain reinforcement learning and artificial reinforcement learning.
