    Neurons are incapable of reasoning they’re just firing based on a deterministic action potential. What are neural networks doing but creating internal models of reality and guessing what’s next based on patterns?

        I’m not saying they are identical but they are similar in the sense that a neuron cannot reason. It’s only in a quite large and densly connected neural network we believe there is reasoning.

          But the closest equivalent of a neuron in the AI world would be a node, and I haven’t been talking about that. So your comparison does not fit or make sense.

          LLMs as a genre of AI research are incapable of reasoning. At best they can pretend to reason, and even then they are terrible at it.

            I think both can more aptly be represented as a special type of graph like from graph theory. Once again fundamentally the human brain isn’t reasoning on the level of neurons and most definitely atoms aren’t reasoning

              Once again that’s a strawman.
