Neural network = regression? Another myth born of ignorance.

There’s a growing trend - especially among non-specialists - to reduce neural networks to mere statistical tools. Some even claim they are "just fancy linear regression." And believe it or not, I’ve even seen so-called experts say that “AI is just statistics.”! This isn’t just wrong - it’s a scientific misconception. Reducing AI to traditional statistics erases everything that makes it powerful: adaptability, resilience, abstraction, and inspiration from the human brain. Counterarguments and a full essay coming soon on my AI blog.
