The irony of this post. Brains are sparser than transformers, not denser. That allows you to learn symbolic concepts instead of generalising from billions of spurious correlations. Sure, that works when you've memorised the internet but falls over quickly when out of domain. Humans, by contrast, don't fall over when the domain shifts, despite far less training data. We generalise using symbolic concepts precisely because our architecture and training procedure looks nothing like a transformer. If your brain were a scaled up transformer, you'd be dead. Don't take this the wrong way, but it's you who needs to read some neurology instead of pretending to have understanding you haven't earned. "Just an emergent propery of billions of connected weights" is such an outdated view. Embodied cognition, extended minds, collective intelligence - a few places to start for you.
