AI struggles with neuroscience without true understanding, failing on complex tasks

The article questions whether artificial intelligence can truly contribute to neuroscience without genuine understanding. It argues that current AI models are unable to make reliable predictions about the learnability of sensory substitution for the blind, as these scenarios fall outside their training data distribution. This limitation highlights a gap between AI's pattern-matching capabilities and the deeper comprehension required for complex scientific inquiry. AI
