    It sorta is.

    A key way that human intelligence works is to break a problem down into smaller components that can be solved individually. This is in part due to the limited computational ability of the human brain; there’s not enough there to tackle the complete problem.

    However, there’s no particular reason AI would need to be limited that way, and it often isn’t. Expert Go players see this in AI for that game. The AI tends to make all sorts of moves early on that don’t seem to be following the usual logic, and it’s because it’s laid out the complete game in its “head” and going directly for the goal. Go is basically impossible for humans to win against the best AIs at this point.

    This is a different kind of intelligence than we’re used to, but there’s no reason to discount it as invalid.
