A biological neuron doesn't do much. On its own, a simple process. Yet when you put a 100 billion of them together in the right 1000-connected configuration you get a human brain.

- xucian 2y agogood point, but replace neuron with perceptron and human brain with neural net here's the catch: neurons work with over 100 types of neurotransmitters [1], they're quite complex compared to a perceptron which brings me on a tangent: I feel there's a breakthrough just around the corner, at the intersection of the 'dumb' on/off perceptron and a biologically-accurate simulated neuron. hardware will catch up too [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotransmitter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotransmitter
