I swear I hate people with this attitude. Like you wouldn't be able to build shit even if your life depended on it, but you're too quick to dismiss it like you know everything about it and can build something better yourself.

Also they are quick to downplay it by analysing it at the low level of operation as some sort of argument against it being anything special.

The reality is everything is made up of fundamental low level simple operations, for example, life is ultimately dead molecules interacting chemically and consciousness is ultimately unconscious nerve cells relaying electrical signals, but I don't think you would argue that it makes them less impressive systems.

If anything it's amazing what simple things and processes can give rise as a result of emergency interactions.
