This hangs with the other statements in fig 1:
1️⃣ ANNs (artificial neural networks) are inspired by human organism
2️⃣ ANNs are a black box we don't understand
3️⃣ We understand neither ANNs nor cognition therefore they are similar
All 3 are misplaced! We unpack this...

OK, let's talk about 3 important concepts: ANNs, LLMs, & AI: "Definitions of AI and LLM are hard to pin down [&] ANN is an umbrella term for models" Black box: Really not what people think because actually you can open it (read on in the PDF to find out) by design! Leibniz' Mill: "argument against the idea that mechanical components suffice to understand cognition" All are important & misused (1st 2) or forgotten about (last) to pretend we don't understand AI. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20071869 4/
