I come from a medical science background, where I studied the brain from a "traditional" neuroscience perspective (biology, pathology, anatomy, psychology and whatnot). That the best way is actually to try to recreate it is honestly how I feel whenever I read about AI advancements where the clear goal is to achieve/surpass human intelligence, something we don't fully understand yet.

“What I cannot create, I do not understand.” someone clever once said.

It doesn't really follow that we (humans) have to replicate how we (humans) gained intelligence, there very well could be a shortcut that doesn't involve millions of years of getting eaten by tigers.
