This is one of the great conundrums of AI research. The human brain is a physical construct of neurons flooded with electrochemical fluids. Thinking and remembering are physical processes that must absolutely be replicable in a manufactured device and, by extraction, simulated in software. It's just really, really hard and we have no idea how to do it after decades of research. Instead, we get tools like ChatGPT, Alexa, Deep Blue and even Google search that completely sidestep the challenges of replicating human thought and instead use sophisticated heuristics and vast amounts of training data to synthesize human thought based on everything we've ever written down. It's all very complex and clever attempts to mimic the outputs of human thought without any actual thinking. And frankly, they've gotten way farther with this approach than I would have thought possible. Google and Alexa can very reliable solve math problems by recognizing the input type as a special case to hand off to a specific set of subroutines for calculating. But true human-like intelligence is still very, very far off.
