There are some similarities, but ConvNets really remind me of LeCun's airplane vs bird analogy. There are similarities such as learning very similar intermediate representations (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5288363/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5288363/), but they are also very clearly not doing the exact same thing that a human is. It's a technological emulation, and that's good enough for me.
