I don't think it's magic (though there is a "black box effect" wherein it has defied its creators' understanding).

That said, it's more than a jumble of wires and nodes and training and inference and preprogramming the same way an automobile is more than just a jumble of metal, rubber, and gasoline.

They’re fun and cool and can do neat things. They can enhance efficiency, just like the clothes and dish washer.
