There is no magic there.
Computers can do all this assimilation too.

This I just not actually true is it?
Do you imagine that the person who programmed the Airbus Autopilot can fly better than it in the cruise?
Do you imagine that the person who programmed the FADEC can run the engines better?
Do you think that the person who designed the various chess computers can beat them?
With neural networks this is extra not true, obviously.
