Your post reads like someone who has taken a psychoactive and suddenly believes they understand the nature of things. The only meaningful conclusion that I can draw from your post(s) is that you do not actually understand what you're talking about nearly as well as you believe you do.

The random motions of cells in a body do not make for intelligence anymore than the wind making waves in the ocean does. Random cellular motions do not produce repeatable outcomes. It's well established scientific fact that memories are the result of synaptic connections between neurons and that those memories will activate those same synaptic pathways and neurons every single time you access them.

>Prove it. Where in the brain are the models stored.

For my example of riding a bicycle, the main areas this information is stored are a combination of the hippocampus, cerebellum, and basal ganglia. If your conjecture was actually true, then it would be impossible for a brain injury to have any impact on your existing abilities or skills. But we know that injuring a specific part of the brain can cause you to become worse at, or completely lose, a skill. In fact, using existing brain mapping technology we can specifically target parts of the brain that retain specific information if we wanted or even avoid them completely as is the case when performing neurosurgery.

Likewise, do not mistake the brain's capacity to heal/repair itself after an injury as evidence that these pathways do not exist. Similar to how the internet does not completely shut down if a link goes down, the brain is able to reroute and create new neural connections to parts that still work.

I'm not even going to bother addressing the issues with your understanding about modern AI. I've already spent way too much time on this post as it is.
