That's a bit like claiming that dogs have an intuitive understanding of calculus because they can catch a ball. There's a rather weak sense in which that claim might be argued to have some validity, but it doesn't have the implications you seem to think. Monads are not a feature of the universe, independent of human minds. They're a concept we impose on things in order to make dealing with them more tractable in some way. It's very unlikely that a machine learning algorithm is relying on anything remotely like "an intuitive understanding of constructs like monads".
