I certainly hope that none of these authors have ever read a book before or have been inspired by something written by another author.

That would be a much better comparison if it was artificial intelligence, but these are just reinforcement learning models. They do not get inspired.

The brain does not work the way you think… (I work in the field, bio-informatics). What you call “neural networks” come from an early misunderstanding of how the brain stores information. It’s a LOT more complicated and frankly, barely understood.
