I would disagree with this description. An "emergent property of large networks" would be something that just appears when you wire together a large network.
To get intelligent behavior, it's not sufficient to wire together a large neural network. You also need to use an optimizer to train it on a large data set.

- galaxyLogic 3y agoI think "Dial F For Frankenstein" makes your point clear. It is absurd to think the telephone network would just emergently become conscious when there are enough phones it connects together. https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?id=2137 https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?id=2137
