How do you know what you think you saw was a cat?  I mean,
just because something has pointy ears, fur, and a tail does
not necessarily mean that it is a cat.  Although it could be.

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) - A photo of a cat
is introduced.  This is the definition of a cat.  One network
generates images of cats that it shows to another network.
That other network's job is to determine whether the first
is showing a cat or something that looks like a cat.  With
time, the analysis gets better and better.

That can tell you what a cat is.  But can anyone, or anything,
truly understand cats?
