Apparently you deleted one of your previous comments on the topic, so I'll repost it here as it illustrates wonderfully how "pragmatic" your own thinking is, especially the part that matrix multiplication in a loop is "literally what your brain is doing":

"Ah it's you again! It's quite funny seeing the dearth of knowledge you routinely insist on displaying whenever this topic comes up. Consider doing some reading on the information theoretic view of cognition and neurobiology. You'll find leading theories for how our brains work have many similarities to NNs.

Another thing, you don't seem to understand that all physical processes can be modeled completely through matmuls.

You should also read up on the definition of intelligence because you seem confused on what it means.

Pretty much every assertion you make here is wrong and you don't even know it.

You assert "it's common sense" something that does matrix multiplication in a loop can't be intelligent, yet get this, it's literally what your brain is doing.

Please have some epistemic humility and consider refraining from forming strong opinions on topics you don't have a clue on."
