This is so far off the truth it's not even wrong. You've done the intellectual equivalent of dumping a bunch of random mechanical parts on the floor and saying "this is just like a car".
Those "neurons" in artificial "intelligence" bear little to zero resemblance to real neurons in real brains. The naming is purest marketing; the people who invented them way back in ... I want to say the '70s? ... knew damned well they had no relationship to an actual neuron, but you got more grant money if you made it sound like you were simulating a brain.
It's "thinking" is, as a result absolutely nothing like how our brains work.
It's nice of you to stomp on me for how wrong I am, but unfortunately I'm just gonna keep on spreading misinformation provided to me by the previous source of information I encountered, because you didn't even bother to actually correct my thinking.
Then you source your claims.
“It’s your fault that I’m wrong!”
No, it's not that. I may be wrong, and that's absolutely on me. But nobody's helping anybody by just punishing it and not actually providing correct informatiom so we can all learn from it.
This is blaming someone else for the fact that you’re wrong. They have no obligation to correct your thinking.
Building a better society by jumping at eachother's throats, is that how it's done?
Sorry man, but if someone is misinformed and all you do about that is kick him in the balls instead of actually teaching him, then you're a dickhead in my book.
You're not encouraging anybody to get to know the topic better. You're just a bully.
You might want to reconsider your reaction, that’s the only place anyone is at someone’s throat.
It’s acceptable to admit your mistakes and endeavor to learn more for the future. It’s not acceptable to say “I’m going to be proudly wrong and it’s your fault”.
If you're telling me I'm the only one who's being aggressive, then I'm not going to continue this conversation, because I really don't see good faith in it. It's a shame, because I find much of what you're saying valuable, but that's a bridge too far.
As I said, I may be wrong. I oversimplified a certain process to an extent that I unintentionally made it misinformative, I'm sorry about that. But I'm definitely not sorry for my reaction, because the rest of the comment was on point and I can vouch for it.
