So I fell asleep watching a video about creating a self-driving car using plain JavaScript and also just binge watched almost the entirety of Hunter x Hunter, so when I woke up I had the wonderful shower thought that the parallelization process of using a machine learning algorithms such as an artificial neural network to solve a puzzle is quite similar to those anime scenes where the character produces multiple clones of themselves and then uses all their clones to attack the enemy at the same time. The idea is that no one clone is strong enough or fast enough to hit the enemy, but that's fine if you're capable of just making more and more clones until the enemy is defeated. Artificial intelligence can attempt to create intelligent systems by giving each of these clones a "brain," identifying the best brains, and then storing those brains permanently to use as the template for the next generation of clones, thereby creating a genetic algorithm. The computer science field of intelligent systems, or artificial intelligence (AI), simply is the study of how a system can solve difficult problems. Although I have only started being exposed to AI, it has always been a source of fascination to me, and I would imagine many others.
