      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.
