A qood question - I'd say the best answer is "no" simply because "experience" and "insight" imply some higher-order cognition at play ("insight" for sure).
What ML algorithms do is more akin to curve-fitting, or (chains of) "if-this-then-that" type of association. Yes this is comparable to "experience", but only at very simplistic level.
- zhirzh 10y agoi'd argue that the "if, then" logic is present in "insight" too. Like, if you play any card game, you can't really calculate the probabilities of cards turning up, but there are certain patterns that give an estimate of what might happen. Like in texas poker, if the cards on the table are 8H 7H 5H, and a player has 6H 10D, there's a high probability that it is a winning hand, but we can't know for sure whether it will win since we don't know what cards other players have. I believe a poker AI might reason the same way.
