You're probably right and thank you for the link. All I was really saying is advocating for applying the precautionary principle to things that include neuron-like capabilities of signal processing, amplification, feedback loops, and state. Part of what has made me think about this is there is a startup company called Koniku that blurs the line by proposing to use humanlike neurons instead of transistors in a type of biological computer. That idea seems scary and I think when you dig into why, you'd consider that applying a precautionary approach to systems like this might be the worthy thing to do.
