> doesn't the critique boil down that ANNs are orders of magnitude simpler than the human brain No, it's not a difference of scale, it's a fundamentally different learning algorithm. Human brain trains interactively. From birth you being experiments controlling the environment around you. Your ability to perceive the world and your ability to control it are one in the same. You can't understand the world without participating in it. And if you are participating in it, you're stuck on the same slow timeline as every other animal. No more "train on 1 million hours of data in 30 seconds". You poke a quantum field, you wait for your bit of information back. There's no possible speedup because you're up against physics. Want to integrate the experiences of 1000 remote AIs? Fine, that'll be 1000 quanta please. In order, one at a time. And you're going to have to relearn all of the trillions of models our genes already learned over billions of years before you even catch up to a human baby.
