To say that any system which solves a problem via similar methods to humans is brain-like, seems like it is unfairly privileging the specialness / uniqueness of the brain. Claims like that (IMO wrongly) suggestively imply that those solutions somehow “belong” to the brain, simply because that is where we first observed them.
The brain isn’t exactly some arbitrary set of parameters picked from a mindspace, it’s the most statistically likely general intelligence to form from evolutionary mechanisms on a mammalian brain. Presumably the processes it uses are the simplest to build bottom up so the claim is misguided but it isn’t entirely wrong.
