For example, if a human says “I’d like to make a similar brain as mine, but with 80% more neurons per cortical minicolumn”, there’s no way to actually do that, at least not without spending decades or centuries on basic bio-engineering research.
By contrast, if an ANN-based AGI says “I’d like to make a similar ANN as mine, but with 80% more neurons per layer”, they can actually do that experiment immediately.
