It's also full of legacy cruft. We can barely see three colors because some of our ancestors were nocturnal and we never regained the lost receptors [0] [1]. Look at that beautiful bird coverage of the spectrum, look at that awful barely orthogonal human M and L receptor. The blood vessels obstruct the retina in vertebrates! Methanogenesis hasn't been invented outside of Archaea! Also brain with higher cognitive functions (which everyone demands from these neural networks) is barely a couple million years old. Evolution works with copy-paste, rotate and change-single-character, and every single edit has to be compilable and viable.
