Maybe, but real neurons are not closer to artificial neurons than a digestive system is to a furnace or a barrel of acid.

There is a very loose relation between them, because neural nets were historically inspired by the way real neurons are connected.

This is not saying anything about the capabilities of neural nets, I think they can be extremely potent, up to AGI level, but not because of biological mimicry but thanks to Computational Equivalence.
