NN would be more useful maybe for "recognize this song by me humming it, da-na-na'ing its main riffs, or badly singing a few words".

Yeah that's true. I would hope they would make that a different function though. Google uses NNs for the android keyboard autocorrect now and it will incorrectly change correctly spelled words that I wrote 3 words back because it decided I wanted to write a more "likely" sentence. It replaced "worry about that" with "sorry about that". The shotgun approach of NNs in certain scenarios is infuriatingly frustrating. Sometimes an exact match is preferable to a probabilistic method.
