Words are important. I choose mine carefully.
No, you don't. You're using the word "can", but should be use the word "could":
NNs could solve world hunger, and they could heal any illness, and they could help you build a time machine.
And NNs could memorize opening positions, and their best moves. NNs could be a book. Sure.
But I was very careful with my word choice, all the times I mentioned NNs, I said "
that NN" (you can go back an see how often I used the word "that") not "
an NN", I was specifically talking about *that* NN.
And THAT NN does NOT memorize openings.
You're talking about what it's capable of doing, sure, anyone can program an NN to do anything, memorizing opening positions could be trivial (you just let it overfit the data), I'm taking about what it DOES, in the PRESENT, at the CURRENT TIME.
And it's not memorizing opening positions, nor doing anything akin to it. It could do it, and then it'd be a book, but it's not.
