> It's still very unclear what, if anything, this algorithm has in common with how a human brain actually operates.

Not very much at all. Most psychological evidence shows that human beings seem to operate off composable, hierarchical generative models and probabilistic inference. Deep neural networks are basically just huge continuous circuit approximators.

These two things are not mutually exclusive.


What sort of neural network implements human-style learning and inference?
