The question of course is how much of a shortcut is possible.
The answer to date seems to be: none to slim.
The search oracles and stockmarketbot makers have paid precious little attention to the brain. They are based on engineering principles instead.
I agree engineers reverse engineering will succeed way ahead of full emulation,
Most engineers spend very little time on reverse-engineering nature. There is a little “bioinspiration”—but inspiration is a bit different from wholescale copying.
