DISCLAIMER:

I am not an expert in AI. This may be inaccurate.

I was on my computer today watching a video and I was struck by a thought. A neural network is basically a machine that guesses, updates its guess, and repeats. All it does is take a few inputs, guess, compare, guess, compare, guess, compare, then, TADA! A piece of code of an essay or something. The network itself is just many layers of neurons, like a cake.

Any thoughts?
