Artificial intuition

Human intuition looks different if we adopt this type of conceptual model for it. Intuition is not about auras or somehow peering directly into someone’s essence. It instead results from the interaction of so many factors in our brains that we correctly intuit that you’re a vegetarian but can’t tell you why, other than some vague statement such as, “I don’t know. Nothing in particular. It’s just the sense I got.” “Nothing in particular” might actually stand for “Too many small particulars and cues that when combined make me think you’ re probably a vegetarian.” Likewise for the teacher who has learned so much about each of her students that she correctly intuits the class will do well learning about atoms by holding hands to form molecules.
