But humans are also conceptually mirrors. For example, none of the words you are using are ones you thought up; they mostly date back to pre-Shakespearian times. Nor is the grammar you're using, which you've copied off other people. And the arguments you are using have concepts like intelligence or the mathematics of neural nets which aren't things that you came up with either; they are being mirrored off others.
And yet we'd all agree you are thinking, despite just being a mirror with very little room to add anything new. So if you want to argue that a neural net is a mirror, that does not in any way disqualify it from considering something. The part of human reasoning that isn't a mirror of other ideas is small to the point where it might not actually exist.
