This thread has completely missed Ben's original point, surely.
It diverged certainly, which is why I changed the subject heading for my latest reply.
It has nothing to do with whether neurons are faster/better/whatever than
digital circuits, it has to do with the way that artificial neurons are
used in current NN systems to represent information.
The fact that neurons are slower than digital systems is a trivial
difference between them. That doesn't make them inherently less capable of
doing syntax, for example.
Sure; the bit about wetware being slower than silicon was in reply to a different question. My reason for thinking artificial neural nets will have an uphill job doing syntax is a different one; and I think it is indeed about how they represent information.
