Nobody knows how the 100K-neuron mosquito brain does that. We have further developed no AI that can perform even mosquito-grade cognitive functions. My whole point is that the AI community gives the public the impression that we are much further along in achievement than even the mosquito brain, yet today's AI can't remotely do what a mosquito brain does. .
Firstly you're confusing the AI community with the popular press. This does the community a great disservice.
Secondly we can't build a better mosquito but we can build AI systems which can do stuff far, far beyond the reach of a mosquito, or example transcribing speech to text, or taking in speech and performing actions based on that.
So I am confident in my statement that we have no idea whatsoever how a human brain works.
u wot m8?
I was asking you to define what learning was as you're so keen on telling us how things aren't learning.
But whatever.
We don't have "no idea" as that implies zero knowlede. We have scattered, isolatee knowledge of bits of it. We have a pretty good idea how the early stages of the visual cortex work, for example (well in cats---people frown on sticking electrodes into human brains for some reason). Sure, there are vastly more unanswered questions than knowledge, but to say we have no idea imlpies the feild of neurology and neurobiology and cognitive science hasn't advanced at all.
