I’m pretty sure that there’s not a consensus on how the mind works yet. AI is more accurately described as “modeled after how we think the mind works right now”. the processes used in AI are at best smplified analogs of perceived mental processes. just because they can produce a similar output doesn’t mean they are functionally equivalent to actual human thought processes. i mean, it takes a supercomputer to model a portion of a rat brain the size of a grain of sand… i remain unconvinced that the technology as it currently exists is more than a caricature of cognition.

We know fairly well how mind works, at least the parts that were an inspiration for machine learning.
