This post feels way, way too verbose, and for no good reason. Like it could be crunched down to half the size without losing any substance.
Too much of the mileage is spent meandering, and it feels like every point the text is trying to make is made at least 4 times over in different parts of the text in only slightly different ways. It’s at the point where it genuinely hurts readability.
It’s a shame, because the topic of AI-neurobiology overlap is so intriguing. Intuitively, modern AI seems extremely biosimilar—too many properties of large neural networks map extremely poorly to what’s expected from traditional programming, and far better to what I know of human brain. But “intuitive” is a very poor substitute for “correct”, so I’d love to read something that explores the topic—written by someone who actually understands neurobiology rather than just have a general vibe of it. But it would need to be, you know. Readable.
Thank you for the feedback. Did you know of any similar writing making similar points that were more readable, in your mind? What was an example of a place that you found it meandering or overlong? This could help me improve future drafts. I appreciate your interest, and I’m sorry you felt it wasn’t concise and was overly ‘vibey.’
