I don’t care what they were inspired by, because that’s not what we’re talking about. The comment I replied to said that brains ARE neural networks, in a literal sense. This is a common misconception, but is well known to be just that among people who are actually well-informed on the topic. Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t make it any less true.
Brains are networks of neurons, e.g. neural nets. They also contain other structures like blood vessels, etc, but it is completely reasonable to say they are neural networks.
Again, you are confusing neural networks with artificial neural networks. Neural networks are to artificial neural networks as birds are to ornithopters.
Why don't you just cut to the chase and bring out the dualism "antennas for the soul" crap already? No sense beating around the bush, your username has me sure it's coming eventually.
Ironically, a drone is becoming increasingly similar to a type of bird. In 100 years, when they might be made of organic material, I would guess it will be normal to call them birds.
