Brains are machines like AI, trained by other machines, generating content based on content we’ve been trained on. It’s hubris to pretend we’re anything else.
You’re falling victim to comparing the most our brains to the current most advanced technology. People used to say the brain is like a clock, with their tiny individual gears all working together to produce a result. Then computer came along with all their wiring and gasp long term and short term memory, just like a brain! Now we’re at neural nets, surely that is what a brain is, it’s right in the name! But no, a neural net is inspired by our brains neurons, it is wrong to think our brains are anything like a neural net.
Besides, even if we go with our brains being just like an NN, a brain only fed brain rot, will only likely produce brain rot.
Except AI models trained on generated data does regress it. They need human generated content to actually improve.

None of the past comparisons have been wrong about anything but the level of complexity.
