That’s a very weak argument. Memories are not exact replica of experiences. We know that many memories are retained through a lifetime, particularly the ones from early childhood. Unlike computers we always reconstruct memories from several modalities. Even if we remember largely on vibes as you say (which is not true when you look into neuroscience), the sheer amount of information is overwhelming. Again, try to run a 90 minute movie through an LLM memory system. It won’t be able to tell you the plot. That’s before you even feed it sound. Even 100M tokens is not enough for that. You on the other hand will largely remember the movies you liked and their major plot lines and from there be able to reconstruct its scenes. I think the engineers working on memory vastly underestimate the capacity problem of discrete states.
