[E. Pluribus Unum]

Neural networks can only memorize.

There is no intelligence about them.

Each unit is really dumb. Get a large number of them and connect them to one and another, creating a giant network. This network can create macro patterns. Ability to generate those macro patterns are what is referred as intelligence. The network is trained to recognize patterns and in some cases, take a proper action.

But it is not as smart as people are led to believe. Networks are usually designed to handle a narrow specialized task. Furthermore, they have to be spoon-fed well-digested inputs. That is, humans have to clean up the inputs before feeding them into a network. This cleaning-up process can be very time-consuming chore.
