I don’t think healthy scepticism is (or should be) controversial. But I find it interesting how willing certain people are to confidently claim that a model does or does not accurately model human cognition when we clearly still _barely understand human cognition_.
Where do people derive their certainty, which seems to me largely misplaced?

Neuroscience is still struggling to understand the basic operations of the brain, let alone the "mind." There's no agreed-upon definition of "intelligence." Can you define cognition (literally, "knowing") without defining intelligence?
These fields are making remarkable strides, but they're still in their infancy. Whoever writes these breathless press releases, they probably have a degree in marketing.
