Humans use tools to find patterns. Typically you don't read a dataset and look for patterns. We build optimisations, regression models, search algos, etc. We also build functions that build functions from data. Yes, we know how AlphaGo wins. It's architecture is known and understood, as is it's training and how to replicate it. It doesn't mean you can predict what it's next move will be nor "why" it made it but it does what it was programmed to do.

This is all just an expression of innately human capability. Bigger and faster does not mean different in kind.
