Shortened: Modeling how the brain works is not synonymous with how humans work.

We just need to maintain our awareness of that difference.

The good news is, it makes replacing humans - trait for trait - far more more complicated.

I wouldn't take much comfort in that. You can probably reach something that resembles a human by just providing an alternative set of signals. We already do this with the reward mechanism during training and that is proving very effective.

Agree, most work seems to treat the brain as the sole locus of neurological activity when the brain is one piece of a system.

To give a parallel, your high blood pressure may not be due to your heart, as it may be responding to a system of factors. Vasodilation and vasoconstriction of blood vessels have a direct impact. Your kidney health, an organ outside of your circulatory system can trigger high blood pressure. O2 and CO2 levels in the blood can trigger a response.

Looking at the brain in a vacuum will only get us so far.
