No, training is not programming.

Training is feeding the "complex electrical circuit" some input data, repeating it as nauseam in hope that somehow, the machine manages to store and interpret enough of this knowledge to do something with it.

Programming is just throwing data somewhere into some memory and instructing the processor to interpret this data as instructions to follow.

There is no such thing as a processor in the brain that somehow would read some memory somewhere and execute a set of actions.

It’s just « eyes see cake. I know that grabbing it and eating it releases dopamine so I’ll send the required signals to get this into mouth » it’s not ./eat_cake -f --ignore-consequences

I doubt that computers would be as useful as they are if some coach had to train brain-based computers what is Excel and how it should work.
