I'm more interested in metaphor and analogy.

My 3.5 year old son said "look at the rain! It is bouncing like hopping frogs!"

I don't know if he created that. It's not in any of his books. I guess he jumps like a hopping frog at nursery and transferred that to rain.

I'm not so interested in a computer that is trained on frogs, and which sees a hopping frog and describes it as such. If it saw a hopping cat and said this thing is hopping but I don't know what it is, then I'd be interested.

Am I being too harsh on the robots?
