I disagree profoundly.

There are things the brain does we have not yet been able to reproduce with a neural network, or to the extent we have seemingly with excessive resources of training and network size. Therefore there is some salient feature of neurology which has been overlooked. I don't think it is necessary to mimic biology down to the exact function of real neurons, but there must in fact be something we are neglecting to mimic.

Possibly, but it may also be that we're training them wrong.

"Book smart, not street smart" (to use a catchphrase) would apply perfectly to GPT models: brain the size of a rodent's, with 50,000 year's experience of reading Reddit, Wikipedia, and StackOverflow, but no "real life" experiences of its own.
