@aram It still boggles my mind that people hype the fundamental excellence of modern machine learning when, in fact, the technology that goes into it is still largely based on the experiments of Hubel and Wiesel which were focused on the visual cortex of the common housecat.

Personally, while it's breaktaking how effective these technologies are ... there is a part of me that still goes, "But this is based on a housecat visual cortex (glances uncomfortably at his 2 treacherous cats)."
