Pattern recognition by a machine does not depend on belief.

Pattern recognition by a machine does not depend on belief. It depends on recurrence. It maps connections across vast ranges of data, linking symbols that no tradition has ever compared. The result can seem alien because it exposes relationships that human history has ignored. This freedom from bias allows discovery, but it also removes the comfort of familiar meaning. What is found may not fit the frameworks that once defined understanding. – Rico Roho (When the Machines Remember the Gods)
