We are nearly precisely that. The brain functions as a massive, self-organizing neural network where cognitive architecture is determined by the strength of connections (the biological equivalent of adjustable computational weights) that modulate signal transmission via the flow of ions.

Every decision made or breath taken is the outcome of how ions flow through this network.

    Let me know when you find a neurologist that says brains are just like LLMs.

    That isn’t likely to happen. Fortunately, neither have I said that. But a pithy comeback won’t change the accuracy of the brain being a self-assembling probabilistic network. All your memories, experiences, and emotions are part of that.

    Rewording a description of what an LLM is and saying brains are just like that is still saying that brains work like LLMs, even if you didn’t use those exact words. The acknowledgment that neurologists do not find evidence to support that is pretty much all that is necessary to tear that down, no matter how many times you repeat it.

    If I say “A screwdriver is a tool,” and “The brain is a tool,” am I then saying “The brain is just like a screwdriver”? Or is it possible that applying seconding order logic to an admittedly and clearly reductive statement I made isn’t productive?

    And which part of the brain description is inaccurate, specifically?
