How exactly are we supposed to replicate the human brain, when we barely understand it?
We wasn't able to understand fire and we replicated that.
Moreover, just because we don't completely understand it now doesn't mean we never will.
Which is why neural network computer science needs psychologists and sociologists to regulate it.
It's only a matter of time before corps start trying to simulate human brains, but even the smaller models deserve at least the same level of consideration that we give to animals.
I get what you’re trying to say, but making fire and understanding the human brain are not even remotely on the same level.
We do not have task of replicating brain, only intelligence. And even there it is not replicating that we want or we do.
