So you're saying that the neural networks in certain kinds of machine learning applications aren't networks of nodes with connections between them, and the connections don't get reinforced by 'right' answers during a training phase? Much like we currently think neurons and synapses in brains work? I must be reading this article completely incorrectly then:

How else do our brains work other than by pattern matching against stuff stored during a (life-long, ongoing) learning phase?
Edited to add - also who cares if machines don't do things the same way we do. Aeroplanes don't flap their wings but we still say they fly.
