Problem is, that idea about "older and newer" brain systems is completely mistaken.
You cannot have logic without emotion and vice versa is just as dysfunctional.
Think about what e.g. curiosity does for you.

A microprocessor is pure logic, no? It’s not dysfunctional, but it’s also not that functional.

Sure, I meant the relization of logic in a neural net alike to the human brain.
You could interface a microprcessor with the brain of course, or, much more easily, have some logic functions (like Wolfram alpha for example) be accessible to the LLMs or whatever that are supposed to mimic the brain.
But would that allow for the same integrated functionality? ChatGPT uses such extensions in a serial fashion. Humans ideally (..) learn to integrate logic in their every thought.
Feeling and emotions and what we consider “human” really come from the older systems. Since we’re not trying to recreate that, I find it hard to see the current AIs ever becoming “human” without explicit development.
Stories always joke about this topic by talking about “emotional cores” added to robots.
