How deep is the brain? The shallow brain hypothesis

Beyond the mere topological metaphor of neural networks there is almost nothing in common between brains and widigital computation. This is a widespread fallacy of category.

I completely disagree, and I think this is an example of human-exceptionalism bias.

and more specifically, between chemical-based information processing systems and Von Neumann architectures for binary information processing.

Agreed, a widespread fallacy of category.

But computers still do some pretty cool things. Powerful tools.

I mean, sure, but the topology is exactly what makes both work, so we only really care about the topology.
