Agreed. My understanding of NN is that more than matrix multiplication, it’s that it’s a general purpose solver. You could write the same thing yourself, it would just take you ages.
So with unlimited budget and time, can you write something complex enough to seem intelligent? I think so. Is what you wrote actually intelligent? No idea, and I think that’s more philosophy than I’m interested in.
General purpose solving functions will only get better with time and already solve more than we can write solvers for by hand. I don’t suspect there’s a limit here, assuming we can keep improving in ways to scale its compute and scale the function goals.
