I didn&#x27;t say anything about that being how humans learn. Neural nets are only vaguely similar to the neural networks in organic brains anyway. But this is how our (non sentient) AIs are trained and what distinguishes them from predetermined deterministic algorithms. It allows them to operate more independently from humans than &#x27;traditional&#x27; programming techniques.<p>theres not much to be gained from arguing about the definition of intelligence, but however we use the term I think the above is what distinguishes these systems. What term would you prefer to use for them?
