Disclaimer: I have no expertise in AI.

That said, I agree that learning how the brain works seems unimportant and unnecessary. Evolution doesn't know how a brain works, but it's given us Einstein, Michelangelo, and conversations on HN.

It seems really important to learn how to build evolution into attempts at AI, given that evolution is the only known mechanism that leads to what we recognize as intelligence.

>evoluyion doesn't

you use antropomorphy to reflect on your own standpoint. we don't know how the brain works? we can feel it and psychologist have a huge body of work concerned with the topic and that is already having influence on competition and fitness.

You could have made exactly that this argument about flight before the Wright brothers.
