I'm sure there are more missing pieces.
We are more than Broca's areas. Our intelligence is much more than linguistic intelligence.
However, and this is also an important point, we have built language models far more capable than any language model a single human brain can have.
Makes me shudder in awe of what's going to happen when we add the missing pieces.
Yes, I sometimes wonder if what we're witnessing in our lifetimes is the next stage of the 'bootstrapping' of life into a more complex form. If we might be the mitochondria contributing our little piece to the cell that comes after.
