Well first, brains aren't the only kind of intelligent biological system but they aren't actually trying to 1 for 1 recreate the human brain, or any other brain for that matter, that's just marketing. The generative side of LLM's is what gets the focus in the media but it's really not the most scientifically interesting or what will actually change that much all things considered.
These systems are absolutely fantastic at finding real patterns in chaotic systems. That's where the potential lies.
More like trying to go to the moon with a Civil War era rocket, it is early days yet. But progress is insanely quick.
No arguments there; my issue is the marketing bullshit that wants to call them 1:1 "artificial intelligence" which is an insult and a dismissal of actual ongoing artificial intelligence research projects.
My metaphor was heavy handed, I know. Maybe I should have said it's like trying to fire a bullet at the moon and just expecting more and more gunpowder to do the trick instead of considering a different approach using chemical propulsion.
