I understand what they said. That statement reads: "Machine learning has a concept of a neural network, and the brain is not that". A correct statement would be: "The field of machine learning makes use of a computing system called an artificial neural network, which is loosely based on the structure and function of a biological neural network." The statement in question would be like saying: "Italians most certainly do not make real coffee, as the term is understood at Starbucks." There's a technically correct reading of that sentence, but the implication is offensive to the subject matter.
