> If every synapse was equivalent to just one parameter in ANN, then we could be just magic memoization machines. It's a poor comparison, though, since neurons and synapses aren't the same as parameters in a computational network. It's the same trap that news outlets routinely fall into when citing "storage capacity of the brain" in TBs and other such nonsense.
