by definition, humans are not more than a neural network.

Imma stop you right there

What's the neural net that implements storing and retrieving a specific memory within the neural net after being exposed to it once?

Remember, you said not more than a neural net -- anything you add to the neural net to make that happen shouldn't be needed, because humans can do it, and they're not more than a neural net.

Cyclic neural networks.

Any other questions?

I think we're gonna have to agree to disagree as to the nature of neural net technology. I'm clearly not talking about optimizing handwriting recognition.

That's unfortunate, I wish we could agree on something instead. Anyway, let's leave it so, then. ✌️
