Living, growing, changing cells are pretty damn dissimilar to static circuitry. Neural networks are based on an oversimplified model of neuron cells. The model ignores the fact neurons are constantly growing, shifting, and breaking connections with one another, and flat out does not consider structures and interactions within the cells.
Metaphysics is not required to make the observation that computer programmes are magnitudes less complex than a brain.
The trouble with phrases like ‘neural structures’ and ‘language parsing’ is that these descriptions still play into the “AI” narrative that’s been used to oversell large language models.
Fundamentally, these are statistical weights randomly wired up to other statistical weights, tested and pruned against a huge database. That isn’t language parsing, it’s still just brute-force calculation. The understanding comes from us, from people assigning linguistic meaning to patterns in binary.
All hardware becomes legacy hardware in time. Even if we assume they’re eventually able to deliver on all those great big shiny promises, I’d rather not have to schedule an outpatient surgery just to keep up on emails. Pocket touchscreens being practically mandatory is bad enough…
And your metaphor was a fun oversimplification.
Desertification has increased
Local flora has decreased
Rabbit populations have octupled
Deer populations have doubled
very hush hush, but there’s this app called New Pipe, available through F-droid
that sounds like an interesting conversation, really
well now i wanna just cus i’m getting pushback
you’ve fallen for my trap card; the allure of forbidden fruit!
yeah, that’s… thanks for illustrating my point
mostly a mistake af habbit
to learn? To experience something new? Monolingual life starts loosing it’s charm.
I wanna see Curzon Dax in SNW. Pretty sure the timetables match up there, given he negotiates the Khitomer accords.
