It depends on how much koolaid you've drunk. A NN implemented on a digital computer is a fixed way of varying the electrical field of the CPU (etc.) given (eg.,) an SSD state which produces a fixed way of varying (eg.,) a motor. This is very (very) far away from adaptive motion at the "tissue" level. The semi-mystical notion that a NN is a kind of "programming of reality" is false: just as a NN running on a CPU cannot perform nuclear fusion, it likewise, cannot produce material adaptation. It is an open question whether any non-organic material is adaptive, and I'd bet against it.
