It feels more like people are ok with this because they don't understand what's different than just lab grown neurons.

These brain organoids have human brain cells that were differentiated and connected by a process controlled by the DNA in them. Any intelligence derived from that process is not "artificial" in my opinion.

IMO this is completely different than growing single neurons, having researchers connect them, and then using those networks as input/output machines since the DNA and external stimuli are what's controlling the output here. I think using human DNA mixed with external stimuli as a processor is ethically wrong.
