How does the ‘black box’ in a neural network work?

Question

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

It’s the same way your brain can identify a truck is a truck but you can’t necessarily explain why a truck is a truck.

Your brain is the black box and the logic it used to make the judgement is hidden from you even though the one come works.
