I'd love to hear about any studies explaining the mechanism of human cognition.

Right now it's looking pretty neural-net-like to me. That's kind of where we got the idea for neural nets from in the first place.

At every step of modern computing people have thought that the human brain looks like the latest new thing. This is no different.

Not a guarantee, no. A very, very strong predictor though. You have to have some kind of evidence beyond just vibes to start making claims that this time is totally different from all the others before anyone should take you seriously.
