Of course I can, humans learn faster from far less data and don't hallucinate to the same extent. What they do is very likely similar to a part of what we do, but they're missing critical components and my feeling is not all of them (empathy and creativity for example) are even possible to replicate outside of a human experience.

You are extrapolating from a result to the implementation and making a judgment call it's thus not the same. That is not valid to do. You can come up with countless examples of the same tech underlying principle beeing used but the results are dramatically better now. Lithography for example.

You could also look at a koala and make the argument they function totally differently from us since they almost can't learn anything and are extremely stupid.

I would definitely make the argument that Koalas function differently from us, also from observation, which is a perfectly fine thing to do.

You're so wound up in your theories that you're not making much sense to me.
