To be clear, I do not personally think that prosaic AGI and brain-based AGI are necessarily mutually exclusive—eg, brains may be performing computations that we ultimately realize are some emergent product of prosaic AI methods that already basically exist.
This is already the case—transformer LLMs already predict neural responses of linguistic cortex remarkably well[1][2]. Perhaps not entirely surprising in retrospect given that they are both trained on overlapping datasets with similar unsupervised prediction objectives.
