They are though. They quite literally are. Saying otherwise is like saying planes weren't based on how birds work when Wright brothers spent a lot of time in the 1800s studying birds.

Both Humans and GPT are neural networks. Who cares that GPT doesn't have feathers or flap its wings? That's not the question to care bout. We are interested in whether GPT flies. You can sigh to Kingdom come and nothing will change that.

We've developed numerous different learning algorithms that are biologically plausible, but they all kinda work like backpropagation but worse, so we stuck with backpropagation. We've made more complicated neurons that better resemble biological neurons, but it is faster and works better if you just add extra simple neurons, so we do that instead. Spiking neural networks have connection patterns more similar to what you see in the brain, but they learn slower and are tougher to work with than regular layered neural networks, so we use layered neural networks instead.

The Wright brothers probably experimented with gluing feathers onto their gliders, but eventually decided it wasn’t worth the effort. Because that's not what is important.

There are drones with feathers now however. The spring in feather flaps help conserve energy, but only in flapping wings obviously.
