I don't know where you get the "most people". Many here think it is a possible step, others think it is irrelevant to GAI, and some even consider it harder than GAI. I think you may be confusing learning from neurological science and models with the more extensive Whole Brain Emulation, many do think we can learn from the former to help with GAI.

Most people agree that WBE is the first step to FAI.

I am one of the authors of the talk in the second link, and both of us think this claim is probably false, and that WBE won't come first.
