> Our eyes are no that different from cameras

Our eyes are plenty different. One above all they are driven by the neurons behind to scan the scene as the brain tries to figure out the details whereas neural network take whatever feed the camera captures passively.

See for example an owl head movements as it’s triangulating a prey’s distance.

There’s a lot more going on than just the vision part like a cascade of neural structures and not just a big uniform net, with region dedicated to detecting edges and understanding depth separated from and feeding into the classification region.

And we have structures to pick up differences from one scene to another somewhere, and dedicated neurons that react to changeand movement in a scene independently from the brain classification

Oh and it is also apparent that some superstructure does innate detection and supercedes learning, i.e. tests say mammals scared by serpents even if they were never exposed to one, while the same doesn’t happen with spiders, hinting serpent detection and fear is hardwired and not learned. Or ar least learned by evolution and not brain neurons’ plasticity.

The part about the movements - agreed (maybe we need to add this to the machines to improve them) - but the rest is just about additional layers - machines are not restricted to just one layer neither.
