To a point. If you drill down this far into the fundamentals of cognition you begin to define it. Otherwise you may as well call a cantaloupe sentient

I don't think anyone defines AI as "doing the thing that biological brains do" though, we define it in terms of capabilities of the system.

I think if you gave it the same biological inputs as a biological brain you would quickly see the lack of capabilities in any man made system.

Okay, but does that help us reach any meaningful conclusions? For example, okay some AI system doesn't have the capabilities of an auditory cortex or somatosensory cortex. Is there a reason for me to think it needs that?
