Trying to understand Deep Learning but all the resources I’m finding are like: “and inside this black box is where the magic little goblin twists his dials and out comes your probability!”

Answer 1

The phrase “black box” in this case refers to the concept of a complex machine or process, the details of which are unknown or not understood by the user.

So answering how the black box works is impossible by definition because if it could be explained it wouldn’t be a black box.
