not really, the brain can verify the correctness of the pattern matching, and use that to infer other possibly correct patterns. also this model can't really infer intentionality or discern between variants and weigh in pros and cons. that being said i think we're not far from agi, we just need a few more pieces

It can sort of discern between variants. And intentionality and pros/cons are just another kind of pattern. What it cannot do is any kind of recursive, reflective reasoning (except by unrolling).
