Yeah, and Markov chains aren't much smarter than... matrix multiplication. A lot of stuff have been built with it, but these pesky c++ libs like lapack — such a bother to use! Imagine a world where a good infrastructure have been built around it — matrix multiplication certainly would be a blast!

What are ANN but fancy matrix multiplication?

And a reason why GPUs are well suited for AI. 3D transformations are also fancy matrix multiplication.

ANN are non-linear. Much more powerful.
