We share 90% of our DNA with cats. 99.9% with other humans. DNA sharing is a measure whose dynamic range is blown.
That's like saying there is a 99.9% chance to survive the end of the year vs a 99% chance. Vastly different!
We share 99.9 % of our DNA with any other human being. Chimps are 12X more different than we are to ourselves - and how different we are!
It's not. There's a world of difference between a neural net and a chimpanzee. Chimpanzees are some our closest evolutionary relatives. They are living animals with whom we share a great deal of our DNA (98.8% seems to be an often quoted figure). Therefore, conclusions that are likely given the observation "neural net shows similar behavior to humans" are vastly different those given the observation "Chimpanzee shows similar behavior to humans".
