You can't ask a child's visual cortex to tell you anything about cats, either. But connect that visual recognition ai with something like Watson, and you have what you're looking for, no?

You certainly need eggs and sugar to make a cake, but on their own and combined without understanding of the whole, you're not getting very far.
