'our' intelligence may not be the best thing we can make. It would be like trying to only make planes that flaps wings or trucks with legs. A bit like using a llm to do multiplication. Not the best tool. Biomimcry is great for inspiration, but shouldn't be a 1-to-1 copy, especialy in different scale and medium.
Sure, although I still think a system with less of a contrast between how well it performs 'modally' and how bad it performs incidentally, would be more practical.
What I wonder is whether LLM's will inherently always have this dichotomy and we need something 'extra' (reasoning, attention or something les biomimicried), or whether this will eventually resolves itself (to an acceptable extend) when they improve even further.
