The brain is a neural net. It’s made up of neurons that are networked. You’re just pointing out differences between a LLM and a brain. The fact that they are both neural nets is a similarity.
Forming new connections Is not integral. Connections don’t form in seconds so second to second existence is a static neural network. Thus your second to second existence is comparable to an LLM in the sense that both neural networks don’t form new connections.
We can though. We can make neural networks form new connections.

The brain neurons are not the same kind of object as neural net neurons, hence its not a neural net. It is like saying a dragonfly is a helicopter since the helicopter were designed to look a bit like a firefly, no a dragonfly isn't a helicopter they fly in totally different ways the dragonfly has wings and thus don't even move similarly.

But a human isn't intelligent over a second, and synapses do form over longer periods which is what it takes for humans to solve harder problems.

I said the neural network couldn't form those, not that we couldn't alter the neural network. That is a critical difference, our brains updates itself intelligently on its own, that is integral to its function, if our brains couldn't do that we wouldn't be intelligent, when that happens we say a person has Alzheimer's. You wouldn't hire a person with far gone Alzheimer's precisely because they can't learn.
Edit: So you can see in brains being able to form connections makes it smarter. In our neural nets when we try to alter their connections live they get dumber, which is why we don't do it. That should tell you that we are clearly missing something critical here.

So you’re saying as you talk to me right now you’re not conscious? Neurons didn’t grow connections right now so you’re not alive? You won’t form connections in an hour so during that hour your some kind of robot and suddenly when you form a connection you’re not?
We have algorithms that can self evolve neural networks in computers on its own. So you’re actually wrong here there’s progress on this front.
I am not missing anything critical. I know there are huge differences between the human brain and an LLM but the statement remains true. Both are neural networks. The problem here is that you either don’t understand vocabulary or you think everyone around you is so dumb they can’t see the differences.
Everyone and I mean everyone knows what you’re saying in the paragraph above. It’s common knowledge anyone can pull out their ass and your regurgitating it as if your a scientist or expert. Get this, BOTH are still neural networks and both have commonalities despite the distinctions. Both are also Turing complete.
