The term "neural network" is primarily marketing term, as is "AI" itself.

I will say as a neuroscientist, it is a term we use, literally referring to the organization of neurons in the brain and how different areas connect to each other

I know neural networks are a thing and they do exist, including in synthetic forms, but my point is that when LLMs get marketing hyped enough they get conjured up attributes assigned to them and that's bullshit.

Oh 100% agree, and personally it’s really annoying they took our term that I have to use for real things
