Neurons can't represent rules of ordinary language
AI assumes rules are ultimately represented in the brain. But neurons don't provide a symbolic medium in which rules can be inspected & modified, so they aren't appropriate as a medium for the formulation of rules for ordinary language.
We don't
use neurons like we
use rules.
