> As each model was presented with a string of words, the researchers measured the activity of the nodes that make up the network. They then compared these patterns to activity in the human brain, measured in subjects performing three language tasks: listening to stories, reading sentences one at a time, and reading sentences in which one word is revealed at a time. It seems obvious that computers can emulate how humans process information. That's the tradition of the word "computer", which used to be a human occupation. The big question is regarding the sources of information. Humans seem to have access to more information than artificial computers. Advances in AI are of two overlapping categories 1) catching up to human information processing, 2) capturing information from humans / from human information sources (many of which are not sensory). The big question is whether artificial computers can 1) process information the same way we can and 2) achieve the same access to information that we have. We are making a lot of progress in 1), significantly less progress in 2).
