When AI becomes good enough we will maybe we will stop thinking about trying to imitate human brains. If we viewed our brain's decision making power objectively we can find several flaws, for example our heuristics to make quick decisions for mundane things is also our greatest weakness(short sightedness). We are poor at incorporating data to make good decisions and constantly bias due to some external stimuli.
Why would you want to make anything close to the brain? What real scientific or engineering or humanitarian uses does doing that even have? AI is already and going forward should strive to be a groundup of redesign of intelligence.

To have models of the human brain that we can poke at and change and tinker with and etc., so that we can get better ideas of how therapy techniques, medications, ... will impact the actual real people that might benefit from them.
