If Markov processes won’t cut it, a Turing machine will. And an ANN can approximate a Turing machine.

To boil it down, if you really want to argue that the behaviour of a neuron can’t be simulated by an ANN, you’re arguing that a neuron is doing something non-computable. At which point you might as well argue it’s magical.



So I think this thread was about two claims:

1. Can ANN's (in their current iteration) achieve general intelligence

2. Can they do it more efficiently than a biological brain

It certainly has not been established that a Turing machine can achieve general intelligence.
