Bits are binary digits used for mechanical computers. Human brains are constantly changing chemical systems that don’t “process” binary bits of information so it makes no sense as a metric.
It’s not about how you measure it, it’s about using a unit system that doesn’t apply. It’s more like trying to calculate how much star costs in USD.
Bits are also a unit of information from information theory. In that context they are relevant for anything that processes information, regardless of methodology, you can convert analogue signals into bits just fine.
Maybe try looking into the topic instead of confidently repeating your wrong assertions? You’re literally pulling a “my hand is not a number!” right now.
Just because you have a limited understanding of a unit, doesn’t mean that unit is only applicable to what you know. Literally the star example I brought up.
I already did before I formed my conclusion. It’s clear you have not and are just looking for someone which whom to argue.
Goodbye.
Ah, so you just choose to ignore information you don’t already know? What a rational thing to do. You’re not anti-intellectual at all.
Or are you seriously trying to gaslight everyone into believing Shannon entropy doesn’t exist?
