> Right conclusion, wrong argument. Brains are also predictive models based on patterns they've already seen.
Human brains are more than just predictive models, as far as we can tell.
The brain also performs a wide range of other processes, including:
- Perception
- Attention
- Memory
- Decision-Making and Planning
- Emotion & Motivation
- Language and Communication
- Social Cognition
- Motor Control
- Imagination & Creativity
- Self-Awareness and Metacognition
Prediction is one mechanism that supports perception, action, and learning, but the brain also feels, remembers, plans, imagines, and relates.
