> Huh? I wasn't aware any neural networks were based on biology at all other than the loose activate and fire idea. Sounds like you are aware then.

  That's like saying integrated circuits are based on neurons because they route signals. It's more of an analogy than a model.

    Integrated circuits are similar to neurons in that way. They are not based on neurons. Neural networks significantly diverge from actual brain mechanisms. But they are originally based on the original concept as you seem to know. And this person is, perhaps unjustifiably, claiming that they want to bring it closer.

      Fair point. I just feel like his statement saying current neural networks are based on the brain is way off. Especially in the popular LLM paradigm, it's not something anyone is trying to mimic.
