Aren't you just saying the same thing? We know it has something to do with the neurons but couldn't figure it out exactly how

The distinction is that it's not 'something to do with neurons', it's 'neurons firing and signalling each other'.

Like, we know the exact mechanism by which thinking happens, we just don't know the precise wiring pattern necessary to recreate the way that we think in particular.

And previously, we couldn't effectively simulate that mechanism with computer chips, now we can.
