Are we then conferring some kind of supernatural or religious properties to the brain’s particular implementation of neurons?

If not, then why shouldn’t differently constructed but algorithmically similar systems be able to produce similar phenomena?



Because we know practically nothing about brains so comparing them to LLMs is useless and nature is so complex that we're constantly discovering signs of hubris in human research.

See C-sections versus natural birth. Formula versus mother's milk. Etc.
