it's still early days, sure
and basic stimuli response, but it is brain cells reacting and responding even if they're making it look more sophisticated with their virtual butterfly
unlike processors, every cell has code that will allow it to self-organise in very complex ways, and rather than binary gates, each neuron has 7000 synaptic connections. That's a lot of computing power for very little energy, so being able to interact with lab grown neurons via a programmable interface seems a bit of a milestone
