Biology is more decentralized for sure, but I wouldn't be so fast with calling it "brute force". One interesting feature of biological neural networks is the variety of neurotransmitters. In very simple terms, they are not only capable of exciting or inhibiting neurons from firing, but they are also capable of regulating how neurons adapt to the stimulae they have been exposed to. In other words, the biological network not only learns, but it runs the learning algorithm itself. It appears to do this by creating various layers of communication with different effects on the computing nodes.
In my view, we have not been smart enough yet to figure out nature's algorithm.
