astonished that anyone knowledgeable could claim that neural nets are (obviously) an “abstraction of neural processing” when we don’t yet know how brains work. if you don’t know how Y works you can’t really speak with certainty about whether X is an abstraction of Y.

it feels like your arguments shift with every tweet why not just say that you think (A)NNs are a poor or flawed abstraction, perhaps even one that will be eliminated by scientific progress it is most peculiar to demand that they not even be called an abstraction

i never said that couldn’t be called an attempt at an abstraction; the question is whether we can *confidently assume* they are a bona fide abstraction.
