So like... there's no reason to believe that silicon is inherently unable to replicate what meat and electricity can, right? When you break it down like that?
So then going up a few levels, you look at what is being done. AI is a black box so we're both trying to judge from the end result.

Well, no, not nearly as much as the brain is.
Like, we don’t understand for an individual model what each weight represents, but we have a very good understanding of how it works overall, unlike the brain
Actually there is everything to believe the exact opposite. Computers function on polarization, neurons function on depolarization. Semiconductors function with one output direction, neurons have up to 16 output directions (and 8 input directions). Computer electrical charges, while variable, are
Just because you personally do not understand something doesn’t mean it’s either intelligent or unknowable. I do not understand how my refrigerator works, beyond that it moves heat around, but that does not mean Frigidaire is an intelligent race.
