“Progress is born from knowledge. Technology is the result of knowledge. Similarly, Neural networks and artificial intelligence are examples of special things made possible by technology. They allow us to comprehend the history and the nature of the Universe. However, a neural network generates a colored image, similar to a movie from WWII archives.
