In one of Google's A.I. experiments they used a 16,000 processor computer cluster running neural network algorithms, and they just fed it a constant stream of random thumbnails of images from the internet.
It's important to note that none of these images were labeled at all.
Eventually the AI found a pattern, which was repeatable, it could repeatably identify something when it came up in pictures. And that thing... was cats.
They didn't purposefully feed it pictures of cats, they just fed it pictures from the internet. Of course the A.I. didn't know what cats were, to it it was nothing but a describable and repeatable visual pattern.
Basically they asked a super-computer a question, the question was "the internet", and the answer was "CATS".
And this is now the creation story of my new religion.
