Single cortical neurons as deep artificial neural networks

But digital chips are designed to use transistors as on/off switches, so the complicated physics don't matter for understanding a microprocessor. (It's different for analog ICs, where the characteristics of the individual transistors do matter)

Yes, but you wouldn't know that if the best knowledge you had about the inner workings of microchips is essentially looking which parts get hot while they perform different tasks.

Wouldn't it suck if brains are just reservoirs used by the internet that can store roughly 3 memes at a time?
