I've always loved neural networks, but they're finicky like people are. I think largely for the same reasons too. I think neural networks are great for things like learning minuscule muscle/motor movements needed for walking, running and acrobatics of all sorts. I also think they're good for making decisions without having all the relevant facts. But that very thing is also what makes them kind of error prone. If they're good at making inferences, that means they're good at guessing - whether right or wrong. And that isn't typically what people expect of computers.
