I don't think it's reasonable to represent our brains as similar to that of artificial neural networks. They don't work the same. And the metaphor ends up being unfair to both the human and the mathematical and engineering accomplishment of an ANN.
- notshift 4y agoThere are a lot of differences certainly, but there have been papers written about the similarities, such as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26697892 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26697892 (arguments against are included there too). The main reason why I draw parallels is because my main objective is progress towards machines achieving human-level intelligence. We already have an "AGI" which works incredibly well; the human brain. We should be studying it as deeply as possible and borrowing its means & mechanisms for use in our machine intelligence systems. Trying to re-invent the brain from scratch is surely going to be far harder.
- mnky9800n 4y agowhy start from the assumption that a computer and your brain work the same? there is little evidence supporting this. As an example, memory in a computer recalls specific information and stores it for further use. "memory" in a person is reconstructed as a more or less new experience assembled out of bits and pieces of previous experiences. It is why we are creative but also why we are terrible eye witnesses.
