I wonder how it's even taught.

You can train rats with food and heroin. How'd you punish or reward a bunch of nerves? How'd you even be sure it can interpret data correctly?

I'm guessing the nerves are grown in some kind of logic gate orientation and that is how it can be used in digital circuitry. On or off. Off or on. That's it's purpose. To flip the switch on or off. No reward, no punishment. Only duty.

So neurons just crave stimulation, they don’t particularly care what stimulation it is. I believe how they train them is they try to get it to do something, and if it doesn’t do it they put it into a dark room with zero stimulation for a period of time then take it out. I think they combine that with the typical teaching of neural networks.
